Crisis, narratives, and the construction of US-Middle East relations: Continuity and change in world history and Trump’s America First
This article sets out a novel constructivist conception of how we can analyse continuity and change in US foreign policy, and sets out the US relationship with the Middle East within the context of world history. It shows how the US has worked towards an imperium and deployed an imperial right over the long durée. The Trump administration has maintained this tradition. However, by better understanding the role and impact of crises, it is argued t…
Trump’s low conceptual complexity leadership and the vanishing ‘unpredictability doctrine’
This article argues that the Trump administration was not guided by an unpredictability doctrine, but was unpredictable because of the President's low conceptual complexity leadership style. This conclusion is derived by using grounded theory and utilising computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software. We demonstrate that the notion of an unpredictability doctrine was introduced exclusively within the 2015–2016 Republican primary season to…
Artificial Intelligence, Neom and Saudi Arabia's Economic Diversification from Oil and Gas
Saudi Arabia is diversifying its economy by becoming a global technological hub. Driven by its ‘Vision 2030' initiative, it has embarked on the most ambitious and far‐reaching transformation plan in the Kingdom's history. At the core of this transformation are the investment and development of artificial intelligence (AI) and its integration into a new mega‐city, Neom. Currently under construction, Neom is seeking to integrate robotics and AI sea…
Making the unipolar moment: U.S. foreign policy and the rise of the post-Cold War order
In today's political climate, debates around the nature, shape and reality of America's global decline are part of the Zeitgeist. Indeed, a considerable amount of ink has been spilt publishing a voluminous amount of material on this subject. The same can also be said of the many publications on the Cold War era. Given this, it is somewhat difficult to make a distinctive, or especially exciting, contribution that can speak directly to these two la…
Trump, Islamophobia and US-Middle East relations
Identifying the Trump administration’s approach to the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is problematic. Not only is one hundred days of a new administration too short a period to make an assessment of any potential “Trump Doctrine”, especially given the size and complexity of the region, but Trump is himself unpredictable and consistently inconsistent (Rachman 2017). For some, this has been depicted as a result of Trump following the “J…
Undermining the transatlantic democracy agenda? The Arab Spring and Saudi Arabia's counteracting democracy strategy
Saudi Arabian foreign policy is often declared to be countering the possible democratic transitions of the Arab Spring. As such, Saudi Arabia has been cast as a "counter-revolutionary" force in the Middle East and North Africa. This article explores the extent to which this has been the case in Egypt and Bahrain, and the extent to which Saudi foreign policy has challenged United States and European Union democracy promotion efforts in those count…
Political security: From the 1990s to the Arab Spring
The 1994 Human Development Report (HDR) set out the definition and parameters of political security in fewer than 400 words. It was defined as the prevention of government repression, systematic violation of human rights and threats from militarization. This was intended to establish an agenda that would protect people against states that continued to practice political repression, systematic torture, ill treatment and disappearance. Yet, the con…
Constructing America's freedom agenda for the Middle East: Democracy and Domination
The rise and fall of American's freedom agenda in Afghanistan: Counter-terrorism, nation-building and democracy
The US invasion of Afghanistan, in the aftermath of 11 September 2001, was originally conceived in narrow strategic terms. However, what began as a counter-terrorism policy, based on eliminating and eradicating al-Qaeda and the Taliban regime, led to increasing calls for nation-building and the establishment of a democratic state. This ‘mission creep’ was increasingly associated with the Bush administration's Freedom Agenda, and consequently the …

Bush's Freedom Agenda: Ideology and the Democratization of the Middle East
To combat terrorism the Bush administration has asserted the need to reject the status quo in the Middle East and North Africa. Consequently the United States has pursued the freedom agenda, in the belief that a liberal grand strategy serves America's national interest. Yet this policy is based on a highly ideological justification, which is rationalized by appeals to hegemonic stability theory, democratic peace theory, neoliberal economics, and …
