About This Topic

The Middle East sits at the intersection of political science, international relations, economics, and history, making it one of the most frequently assigned regions in university coursework. Students encounter it in courses on foreign policy, global markets, postcolonial studies, and conflict resolution. What makes the Middle East academically compelling is the layered complexity of its modern formation: questions of state power, regional identity, and the influence of outside governments — particularly regarding countries such as Israel, Iraq, and Iran — generate rich debates that resist simple answers. The region's role in global energy markets and its strategic significance to major powers give it weight across multiple disciplines simultaneously.

Papers on this topic span a notably wide range of approaches. Historically oriented essays examine how allied powers shaped the region's political boundaries and how figures such as David Ben Gurion understood Arab nationalism. Policy-focused work analyzes American and broader foreign policy toward the region, including Egypt's bilateral relationships with the United States and Arab states. Economic and business angles appear as well, covering property market performance, investment opportunities in Dubai, emerging economic strategies, and international marketing challenges in markets like Turkey. Some papers take a comparative or case-study approach, assessing impacts across at least two areas of the region rather than focusing on a single country.

A strong essay on the Middle East requires a clearly bounded thesis — choosing one country, conflict, policy period, or market dynamic rather than treating the entire region as a single unit. Evidence drawn from government policy records, economic data, or specific historical events carries more weight than broad generalizations. The most common pitfall is conflating distinct national contexts; Iran, Iraq, and Israel each have separate political trajectories, and treating them interchangeably weakens any argument.

China\'s Influence in Africa Though

China's success on the African continent is not nearly as mystifying or impressive as many foreign policy analysts would have one believe, because strategically China has essentially just followed the United States' lead by mimicking the latter's policy in the Middle East over the last half-century. Recognizing this allows one to examine China's Africa policy from a more objective position in order to not only understand what has made China so successful, but precisely what has kept the United States from effectively maintaining economic and military dominance in the region going forward. Revealing the lingering cultural and historical factors that have benefitted China while hindering the United States subsequently suggests some relatively straightforward methods by which the United States might mitigate China's growing influence while securing its own economic and military interests.

War Without Violence: U.S. Strategy Against Salafist Jihadism

Homeland Security – Article Critique Introduction ONE: The article by Pat Proctor of Kansas State University was published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Strategic Security in 2012. TWO: The point of this article is not so much posing a question but presenting a proposal. The proposal is directed at the United States, suggesting in strong terms how the United States (and presumably its allies) could and should engage in "…mass politics" which Proctor calls "war without violence" (Proctor, 2012, 47). The theme of the article is the remarkable transformation that has taken place in Arab countries (called the "Arab Spring") such as Egypt, Tunisia, Syria, Libya and elsewhere in the Middle East.
