Abstract

The Abraham Accords signed in September 2020 between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain was followed by ties between Israel and the African states of Sudan and Morocco. These were all unique with the common link and timing apparently only the broker American President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign. Looking deeper reveals another common element that is a shift in regional strategic dynamics both at ideological and strategic fronts. This prompts revisiting the Nasser style Pan-Arab and Pan-African ideologies in the context of the current unfolding situation. A primary finding is that government-to-government negotiations to establish multi-lateral forum based on ideological movements rarely achieve this and even when they do such forum tend to debate rather than act. Only with popular and grassroots support can ideological movements bring change and achieve objectives. Such lessons applied to the Abraham Accords, that is a different style of Pan-Arabism and Pan-Africanism, but also top–down at its origins, might lead to an evolution of a different kind of domestic and regional ambiance. The structure of the article is to provide definitions, then discuss the role of leaders, the distinct differences in geography and demography, revisit Nasser style Pan-Africanism, revisit Nasser style Pan-Arabism, and discuss the Qaddafi continuum of the Nasser style ideologies. The academic contributions giving new insight to Africa are the examination of the role of individual leaders and hegemonic leadership, and the shifts and evolution of ideologies where outcomes are not necessarily the desired ones or enduring.

《亚伯拉罕协议》引发的纳赛尔式泛阿拉伯主义与泛非主义再探
以色列与阿拉伯联合酋长国和巴林于2020年9月签署了《亚伯拉罕协议》,随后以色列与非洲国家苏丹和摩洛哥建立了关系。这些都是独一无二的,共同的联系和时机显然只是美国总统唐纳德·特朗普竞选连任的中间人。深入观察会发现另一个共同因素,即意识形态和战略战线上的区域战略动态的转变。这促使我们在当前形势的背景下重新审视纳赛尔式的泛阿拉伯和泛非意识形态。一个主要发现是,建立基于意识形态运动的多边论坛的政府间谈判很少实现这一点,即使这样做,论坛也倾向于辩论而非行动。只有在民众和基层的支持下,意识形态运动才能带来变革并实现目标。这些教训适用于《亚伯拉罕协议》,这是一种不同风格的泛阿拉伯主义和泛非主义,但也是自上而下的起源,可能会导致不同类型的国内和地区氛围的演变。文章的结构是提供定义,然后讨论领导人的角色,地理和人口统计学上的明显差异,重新审视纳赛尔式的泛非主义,重新审视纳赛尔式的泛阿拉伯主义,并讨论纳赛尔式意识形态的卡扎菲连续体。对非洲有新见解的学术贡献是对个别领导人和霸权领导作用的考察,以及意识形态的转变和演变,在这些意识形态中,结果不一定是期望的或持久的。
