U.s. Foreign Policies During The Arab Spring

The Arab Spring brought revolutionary changes to the Middle East and North African region’s authoritarian republics while bypassing its autocratic monarchies. The monarchical exceptionalism that has allowed these states to remain intact is due to a set of three overlapping factors—crosscutting coalitions, hydrocarbon rents, and foreign patronage. Collectively, these factors explain why most of the royal autocracies never experienced widespread protest. The eight Arab monarchies—Jordan, Morocco, Saudi

Consequently, the political leaders of the United States have brought America on a rough journey to the current state of foreign policy and relationship with Israel. Since 1948, the United States’ active position in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has seen very little change or progress towards achieving settlement between these two nationalistic states.

As a result, a rising need for global governance has emerged in the realm of international relations and policy as states search for ways in which they can manage their affairs (Karns & Mingst

to overthrow corrupt governments are noble, but at what price? Protests and rebellions of international magnitude echo with violence and civilian casualties. A recent example of this “war” has been the Arab Revolts in 2010, which devolved into the full-fledged rebellions known as the “Arab Spring.” The already tense situations in the Middle East and North Africa, imploded into protests against unfair governments and pursuit of these corrupt leaders.

the origins, beginning of their journey, foreign immigrant policies, and U.S immigrant policies all come to the point where we should not take in more refugees. First of all, there are origins to explain how the refugee crisis began. In 2003, the U.S invaded Iraq because of its alleged connections to terrorism, and weapons of mass destruction. Iraq had involved rebel groups, like ISIS. The U.S invasion led to the formation of the very terrorists the U.S wanted to drop in the first place because

As Owen Jones notes in The Guardian “the west’s relationship with Middle Eastern dictatorships that have played a pernicious role in the rise of Islamist fundamentalist terrorism. And no wonder: the west is militarily, economically and diplomatically allied with these often brutal regimes, and our media all too often reflects the foreign policy objectives of our government's.”

Palestinian existence in the West Bank is being increasingly confined to ghettos cut off from farmland, schools, medical care and from other Palestinians. Some would argue that Israel's aggressive policies against Palestinians provoke terror attacks on Israeli citizens
