Sommario/riassunto

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of American grand strategy during the Obama administration and its impact on the Middle East. It explores the concept of grand strategy, examining how national objectives and security priorities influence foreign policy decisions. The text compares Obama’s approach to those of his predecessors, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, highlighting key decisions and their consequences. The book focuses especially on issues such as the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, the Arab uprisings, nuclear negotiations with Iran, and the Israel-Palestine conflict. The book also examines the long-term effects of Obama’s policies on U.S. foreign relations, offering insights into the successes and challenges faced in the Middle East. Lastly, it considers the evolution of the American grand strategy under the subsequent administrations of Trump and Biden, shedding light on the continuity and shifts in America's foreign policy



direction. This work is essential for anyone interested in U.S. foreign policy, Middle East politics, and grand strategy.
