This article combines insights from constructivism with historical analysis to argue that the US military engagement in the Gulf, beginning in the 1980s, was primarily driven by the changed roles of two actors: Iran after the Islamic Revolution and the United States attempting to regain its role as a global superpower following the Vietnam War. It argues that the year 1979 constitutes what constructivists deem a “critical juncture,” in which America’s response to three events—the Iranian Revolution/hostage crisis; the siege of Mecca’s Grand Mosque; and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan—helped to redefine the Gulf’s security architecture and made the region more insecure. It ends with a close examination of US participation in the Iran–Iraq War and the long-term implications of the Carter Doctrine’s changing logic.
本文将建构主义的见解与历史分析相结合,认为从20世纪80年代开始,美国在海湾地区的军事参与主要是由两个角色的变化驱动的:伊斯兰革命后的伊朗和越南战争后美国试图重新获得其全球超级大国的角色。文章认为,1979年构成了构成主义者所认为的“关键时刻”,在这一年里,美国对三件事的反应——伊朗革命/人质危机;围攻麦加大清真寺;以及苏联入侵阿富汗——重新定义了海湾地区的安全架构,使该地区更加不安全。最后,本书对美国参与两伊战争以及卡特主义不断变化的逻辑所带来的长期影响进行了仔细审视。

This study presents Arab perspectives on changes in Turkish policy in the Middle East from 2010 until 2020. It examines how Arab countries perceive changes in Turkish regional policy after the 2010–11 uprisings. Unlike Western and Turkish literature that has highlighted identity–security combinations behind changes in Turkish regional policy, this study argues that the Arabic research literature provides a different perspective. Based on a foreign policy analysis concept of operational milieu, this study argues that Arab countries negatively perceive the changes in Turkish policy due to structural transformations in the region during and after the uprisings that paved the way for the reemergence of psychological barriers between both sides.
本研究展示了阿拉伯人对2010年至2020年土耳其中东政策变化的看法。它考察了阿拉伯国家如何看待2010-11年起义后土耳其地区政策的变化。与西方和土耳其文献强调土耳其地区政策变化背后的身份-安全组合不同,本研究认为阿拉伯研究文献提供了不同的视角。基于作战环境的外交政策分析概念,本研究认为,阿拉伯国家消极地看待土耳其政策的变化,这是由于该地区在起义期间和之后的结构性转变,为双方之间的心理障碍的重新出现铺平了道路。

The Role of Armed Conflict in Developing a Subculture of Hate and its Consequences 武装冲突在形成仇恨亚文化中的作用及其后果

When Libyan youth took to the streets in a populist uprising in 2011, which became known as the 17 February 2011 revolution, many Libyans thought they were on the verge of removing one of the most vicious dictators of the twentieth century, Muammar Gaddafi, and building a new democratic state. Gaddafi responded forcefully, hoping to eliminate the movement in its infancy. But clashes between Gaddafi’s forces and those who took to streets soon turned into a civil war, during which Libyan society was split into two major groups: one supporting the uprising, the other the regime. In addition to armed conflict, these warring groups regarded each other with contempt, generated slander, and accused each other of betrayal, using words and phrases in a discourse of hate speech. This vocabulary of hate manifested in demonstrations and social media. Eight months later Gaddafi was dead, and the political system he built over four decades collapsed. But the war did not stop: yesterday’s allies became enemies, competing for political and economic gains. The number of contesting groups expanded as different clans, tribes, and cities joined the fray for personal gains. Strategies and techniques first used during the Libyan uprising were applied in the civil war, and are still manifest today. Every militia has a Facebook page, owns a television station, or has access to one. These media have been widely used to spread hate speech and to widen the rift between neighbors, creating refugees and internally displaced people. At least five cities became ghost towns during the uprising. When the concept of subculture first appeared in the sociological literature, it referred to members of a group that behaved according to a set of values and norms that deviated from those of mainstream society. Reviewing the language of militia members and their supporters that is articulated in social media or on television, it becomes obvious that such language has devolved into hate speech, creating social fragmentation among Libyans. This language has created a new set of values and norms in Libya that are different from preexisting mainstream Libyan culture. The new language has created a subculture of hate, which serves to sustain and accelerate continuing divisions within Libya, while further fragmenting the social fabric of the country.
2011年,当利比亚青年走上街头进行民粹主义起义,即众所周知的2011年2月17日革命时,许多利比亚人认为他们即将推翻20世纪最恶毒的独裁者之一穆阿迈尔·卡扎菲,并建立一个新的民主国家。卡扎菲做出了强有力的回应,希望将这场运动扼杀在襁褓之中。但是卡扎菲的军队和那些走上街头的人之间的冲突很快变成了内战,在此期间,利比亚社会分裂成两大群体:一个支持起义,另一个支持政权。除了武装冲突之外,这些交战团体互相蔑视,诽谤,指责对方背叛,在仇恨言论的话语中使用词语和短语。这种仇恨词汇在示威活动和社交媒体上得到了体现。8个月后,卡扎菲去世了,他花了40年时间建立的政治体系崩溃了。但战争并没有停止:昨天的盟友变成了敌人,争夺政治和经济利益。随着不同的氏族、部落和城市加入争夺个人利益的行列,竞争团体的数量不断扩大。在利比亚起义期间首次使用的策略和技术在内战中得到了应用,并且今天仍然很明显。每个民兵都有一个Facebook页面,拥有一个电视台,或者可以访问一个。这些媒体被广泛用于传播仇恨言论,扩大邻国之间的裂痕,制造难民和国内流离失所者。在起义期间,至少有五个城市变成了鬼城。当亚文化概念首次出现在社会学文献中时,它指的是根据一套偏离主流社会的价值观和规范行事的群体成员。回顾一下民兵成员及其支持者在社交媒体或电视上发表的言论,很明显,这些言论已经演变成仇恨言论,在利比亚人中间造成了社会分裂。这种语言在利比亚创造了一套新的价值观和规范,与之前存在的主流利比亚文化不同。这种新语言创造了一种仇恨的亚文化,它有助于维持和加速利比亚内部的持续分裂,同时进一步分裂该国的社会结构。

W. A. Alaradi, Hasan A. Johar
The evolution of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) has been one of slow progression and resistance to identity unification. Although historical legacies and common threats have brought the GCC countries together, yet the GCC faces some challenges in its aim of unification. This paper seeks to answer the following question: What are the structural and political challenges that impede the process of forming a unified regional Gulf identity (RGI)? The paper will tackle the historical aspect of the GCC and the challenges that faces the establishment of an RGI.
海湾合作委员会(GCC)的演变是一个缓慢的进程和对身份统一的抵制。虽然历史遗产和共同威胁使海湾合作委员会国家走到一起,但海湾合作委员会在实现统一目标方面面临一些挑战。本文试图回答以下问题:阻碍形成统一的海湾地区认同(RGI)进程的结构性和政治挑战是什么?本文将探讨海湾合作委员会的历史方面以及建立RGI所面临的挑战。

Political Governance in Higher Education 高等教育中的政治治理
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-06-01 DOI: 10.1525/CAA.2021.14.2.97
Adnan ElAmine
This paper uses a model of governance in higher education, called the political model, that explains the role of universities as agencies of control and socialization, with a resulting repercussion on the quality of education. It compares this model with common models such as the academic, Napoleonic, market-oriented and managerial. It undertakes a review of ten published cases studies, each dealing with the oldest public universities in ten Arab countries, using a historical approach, from their inception until 2016. Among the ten public universities, nine fall into the category of the political model, while the tenth represents the Napoleonic model. The discussion opens the field for further research.
本文使用了一种称为政治模型的高等教育治理模型,该模型解释了大学作为控制和社会化机构的作用,并由此对教育质量产生了影响。并将该模式与学术模式、拿破仑模式、市场模式和管理模式进行了比较。它审查了10个已发表的案例研究,每个案例研究都涉及10个阿拉伯国家最古老的公立大学,使用历史方法,从成立到2016年。在10所公立大学中,有9所属于政治模式,而第10所则代表拿破仑模式。这一讨论为进一步的研究开辟了领域。

Security of the Middle East in Light of the Iranian Nuclear Deal 伊朗核协议下的中东安全
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-06-01 DOI: 10.1525/CAA.2021.14.2.24
H. Maklad
Iran’s nuclear issue is considered one of the factors that has shaped the regional dynamic in the Arab Gulf sub-region because it is a major factor that might affect the perception of the other side players in the region, international, and regional actors. This matter represents a challenge to the security of the Gulf States. This started to change after the signing of the nuclear deal known as the “Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action” (JCPOA), but then, upon the withdrawal of the Trump administration from this agreement in May 2018, regional alignments began to be reformed. It is within this context that this article tries to answer the following question: How does the American withdrawal from the JCPOA affect the stability in the region and change the stand of the Gulf countries and other regional states? This study is based on the following hypotheses. The withdrawal of the American administration from the nuclear deal, and its imposition of a “maximum pressure” policy, represented a turning point in the vision of the region and has again cast the shadow of the Cold War over the Gulf area. The American withdrawal from the nuclear deal is an independent variable, while the regional security system and the policy of the Gulf States toward this deal is the dependent variable.
伊朗核问题被认为是影响阿拉伯海湾次区域地区动态的因素之一,因为它是一个可能影响该地区其他各方、国际和地区行动者看法的主要因素。这个问题是对海湾国家安全的一个挑战。在被称为“联合全面行动计划”(JCPOA)的核协议签署后,这种情况开始发生变化,但随后,在特朗普政府于2018年5月退出该协议后,地区联盟开始改革。在此背景下,本文试图回答以下问题:美国退出全面协议将如何影响地区稳定,如何改变海湾国家和其他地区国家的立场?本研究基于以下假设。美国政府退出核协议,并实施“最大压力”政策,代表了该地区愿景的一个转折点,再次给海湾地区蒙上了冷战的阴影。美国退出核协议是一个自变量,而地区安全体系和海湾国家对该协议的政策是因变量。

The New Coronavirus and World Geopolitical Transformations 新型冠状病毒与世界地缘政治转型
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-03-01 DOI: 10.1525/CAA.2021.14.1.18

This article studies the major transformations resulting from the global Covid-19 pandemic and how to examine it from the point of view of social philosophy through two sub-themes. The first relates to understanding the state of collective panic in Spain, France, and Italy. It is logical that fear of the pandemic should not turn into a state of collective panic in societies living under technologically advanced political systems, except in cases where these societies lack the basic elements on which social ties are based. Therefore, how do we understand the fragility of these social ties in European countries where mass panic is threatening daily life? The second sub-theme is related to the gestures and features of creating a new geopolitical map that has benefitted from the geopolitical retreat of the West to consolidate other political and regional alliances, mainly the Chinese initiative to tender aid to Italy at a time when other European countries turned their backs on and closed their borders with that European Union member state. How do we understand the contribution of the pandemic in forming new geopolitical alliances that could reset the balance of power in the world? We will observe the political behavior of countries that are supposed to be the first to have shown solidarity with Italy, Spain, and France, which are members of the European Union. We analyze the factors related to the erosion of the basis on which classical European society is based, where collective panic represents one of the manifestations of this disintegration. This panic, which was expressed in the rush to buy foodstuffs and the outbreak of a “toilet paper” buying fever that spread throughout Europe and the United States, saw shelves suddenly empty without a direct reason for this fact. Also, the study determines the relationship that binds these factors to the political disintegration expressed in the lack of solidarity from parts of the European Union with the three countries most affected by the pandemic. The second part of the study discusses how China will benefit from these political developments in the West with the prevalence of collective panic due to the pandemic, especially in the case of Italy, and how China is consolidating solidarity relations with these countries, drawing a map of new international political relations as part of its Silk Road project. Also, there is a discussion of the French philosopher Michel Foucault’s study on plague as a theoretical framework.
本文通过两个子主题来研究全球新冠肺炎大流行带来的重大变革,以及如何从社会哲学的角度来审视它。第一个问题与理解西班牙、法国和意大利的集体恐慌状态有关。在生活在技术先进的政治制度下的社会中,对大流行病的恐惧不应变成集体恐慌状态,这是合乎逻辑的,除非这些社会缺乏社会关系赖以建立的基本要素。因此,在大规模恐慌威胁日常生活的欧洲国家,我们如何理解这些社会关系的脆弱性?第二个副主题与创造新的地缘政治地图的姿态和特征有关,这得益于西方的地缘政治撤退,以巩固其他政治和地区联盟,主要是中国主动向意大利提供援助,而其他欧洲国家则拒绝并关闭了与这个欧盟成员国的边界。我们如何理解这一流行病在形成新的地缘政治联盟方面的贡献,这些联盟可能会重新调整世界的力量平衡?意大利、西班牙、法国是欧盟(eu)成员国,我们将观察那些应该最先表现出团结的国家的政治行为。我们分析了与古典欧洲社会所依据的基础受到侵蚀有关的因素,集体恐慌是这种解体的表现之一。这种恐慌表现在抢购食品和席卷整个欧洲和美国的“卫生纸”购买热的爆发中,货架突然空无一物,没有直接原因。此外,该研究还确定了这些因素与欧洲联盟部分国家对受该流行病影响最严重的三个国家缺乏团结所表现的政治解体之间的关系。研究的第二部分讨论了中国将如何从西方的这些政治发展中受益,特别是在大流行导致的集体恐慌中,特别是在意大利的情况下,以及中国如何巩固与这些国家的团结关系,绘制新的国际政治关系地图作为其丝绸之路项目的一部分。此外,还有一篇关于法国哲学家米歇尔·福柯对瘟疫的研究作为理论框架的讨论。

Understanding the Rationales of Donor-Funded NGOs in Palestine 了解巴勒斯坦捐助者资助的非政府组织的基本原理
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-03-01 DOI: 10.1525/CAA.2021.14.1.51
L. Suleiman
This article uses game theory as a conceptual approach to gain a holistic understanding of the aid policy of donors supporting Palestinian nongovernmental organizations (PNGOs). It asks how the work of donor-funded PNGOs has impacted Palestinian societal common good in general, and who are the winners and losers as a result of their work. Quantitative methods are used to capture the perceptions of the main actors in relation to the societal outcomes of PNGOs’ work and actors’ political and socio-economic payoffs in the occupied West Bank. Most of the findings align with much of the critical research on the negative societal outcomes of the aid policy to the NGO sector, and corroborate that the Palestinian public is a major loser in political terms and the least beneficiary in socio-economic terms.
本文运用博弈论作为一种概念性的方法来全面理解捐助者支持巴勒斯坦非政府组织(pngo)的援助政策。它询问捐助者资助的非政府组织的工作如何影响巴勒斯坦的社会共同利益,以及谁是他们工作的赢家和输家。使用定量方法来捕捉主要行为者对非政府组织工作的社会结果和行为者在被占领的西岸的政治和社会经济回报的看法。大多数调查结果与对非政府组织部门的援助政策的负面社会后果的许多关键研究相一致,并证实巴勒斯坦公众在政治方面是主要的输家,在社会经济方面是最小的受益者。
