SUMMARY:Middle Eastern Alliance Shopping: Is the U.S. Still a Better Choice Than Russia or China?
DESCRIPTION:The United States\, China and Russia (at least until recently) stand out as contemporary superpowers able to support allies across the globe. What do each of these countries offer would-be client states and groups in the Middle East\, and how do their approaches differ? Can Gulf Arab monarchies and states such as Iran\, Israel\, Egypt and Syria\, or stateless groups such as the Kurds and Palestinians\, shop around for the best patron? For those that have a choice\, what costs come with choosing one patron over another? \nAbout the Speaker: David Romano holds the Thomas G. Strong Chair in Middle East Politics at Missouri State University. His research focuses on nationalism\, social movements\, theories of peace and conflict\, political violence\, politicized Islam\, Middle-East politics (with a special emphasis on Turkey\, Iraq\, the Kurds and other Middle Eastern minorities) and foreign policy. His work has appeared in journals such as International Affairs\, The Oxford Journal of Refugee Studies\, Third World Quarterly\, International Studies Perspectives\, The Middle East Journal\, Middle East Policy\, Ethnopolitics and The Journal of Kurdish Studies. He is the author of The Kurdish Nationalist Movement (Cambridge University Press\, 2006 – also translated into Turkish and Persian) and the co-editor of Conflict\, Democratization and the Kurdish Issue in the Middle East (Palgrave Mamillan\, 2014) and The Kurds in the Middle East: Enduring Problems and New Dynamics (Lexingtoon\, 2020). \nRSVP HERE
