Bush, and usher in a new era of a global, interconnected world. More than two years have passed since his inauguration, and the reality of President Obama's approach is in stark contrast to the ebullient and optimistic image that he originally built up. In fact, Obama is not committed to redefining U.S. foreign policy in a transformational way, but to calibrating and correcting the Bush policies, and reclaiming the neorealist approach that defined America's foreign policy since WWII. Taking stock of Obama's first year in the White House, this book places his engagement in the Middle East within the broader context of U.S. foreign policy since 9/11 and examines key areas that have posed a challenge to his administration. Middle East expert Fawaz Gerges highlights the administration's widening credibility gap and lack of resolve and political will to directly confront policy challenges head-on, and offer essential strategic recommendations for advancing U.S. relations with the Muslim world"--10aObama, BarackxPolitical and social views.  2BUEshaUnited StatesxForeign relationszMiddle East  aMiddle EastxForeign relationszUnited States2BUEsh 0aUnited StatesxForeign relationszMiddle East.2BUEsh 0aMiddle EastxForeign relationszUnited States.2BUEsh 0aUnited StatesxForeign relationsy2009-2BUEsh912732 0aUnited StatesxForeign relationsy2001-2009.2BUEsh  bBUSBOLcSeptember2015cOctober2015  2ddck327.73056 GER  c20806d20778  00102ddc40708BaccahaMAINbMAINc1STd2015-09-01ePurchaseg120.00h23317l3m94o327.73056 GERp000030904r2025-07-15 00:00:00s2022-02-22v150.00yBB
