On the Great Power Intervention in the Middle East Upheaval and Political Trend in the Middle East

Abstract: During the political upheaval in the Middle East in 2011, the Western countries adopted a policy focusing on both military intervention and the so-called “humanitarian interference” in the Middle East countries. Europe, the US and other Western powers distorted the “legitimacy” authorized by the UN and took military means to impose regime change in Libya, seriously disrupting the order of international relations. Their intervention efforts in this have far exceeded the ones before the Cold War. In the Intervention, they tried to secure legalization of their intervention, to take collective intervention, as well as nurture and support the country’s opposition parties to cause the “civil war” approach as the model of intervention. Their intervention has been blatant, fraudulent, hidden, and mandatory. From the development trend, because of the importance of the geopolitical position and strategic energy position of the Middle East and North Africa, as well as Western powers’ pursuit of global geopolitical interests, the Western powers’ intervention in the Middle East and North Africa will continue. These countries will still be faced with the historical responsibility to oppose power intervention. Their self-development and ability to maintain their own security will continue to face serious challenges.
