Middle Eastern Politics and American Security
How do ideologies shape international relations in general and Middle Eastern        countries' relations with the United States in particular? The Clash of Ideologies        by Mark L. Haas explores this critical question. Haas's central claim is that        leaders' ideological beliefs are likely to have profound effects on these        individuals' perceptions of international threats. These threat perceptions, in        turn, shape leaders' core security policies, including choices of allies and enemies        and efforts to spread their ideological principles abroad as a key means of        advancing their interests.Two variables are particularly important in this process:        the degree of ideological differences dividing different groups of decision makers        ("e;ideological distance"e;), and the number of prominent ideologies that are present in        a particular system ("e;ideological polarity"e;). The argument is tested in four case        studies of states' foreign policies, primarily since the end of the Cold War: Iran,        Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Turkey. As the argument predicts, ideological differences        in these cases were a key cause of international conflict and ideological        similarities a source of cooperation. Moreover, different ideological groups in the        same country at the same time often possessed very different understandings of their        threat environments, and thus very different foreign policy preferences. These are        findings that other prominent international relations theories, particularly        realism, cannot explain. The purposes of the book go beyond advancing theoretical        debates in the international relations literature. It also aims to provide policy        guidance on key international security issues. These prescriptions are designed to        advance America's interests in the Middle East in particular, namely how U.S.          leaders should best respond to the ideological dynamics that exist in the        region.
