The New Arab Diplomacy
July 21st, 2008 by Adam
Marina Ottaway and Mohammed Herzallah of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace have an interesting paper examining how Arab regimes have been undertaking diplomatic efforts on their own, even against Washington’s interests, in order to fill the region’s diplomatic vacuum. The paper states that regional players see U.S. policy as ineffective and believe that undertaking their own efforts is better than waiting for U.S. assistance in defusing regional crises. They conclude that it still has yet to be determined whether this shift will last beyond this administration.
