taken place. Now the briged Arab and Israeli divide to make peace has held strong.
for seventeen and a half years. However, it wasn't until the Cold War began to wane.
that new opportunities arose to promote peace, but many saw the Gulf War as a.
watershed. The United States and it's coalition partners working together, turned.
back Saddam Hussain's bid to become the dominant power in the Gulf. The.
overwhelming display of power, principle, and leadership during the Gulf War.
provided the United States with enhanced influence in the Middle East. The current.
peace process was launched in October 1991 at what is known as the Madrid Middle.
East peace conference, which was cosponsored by the United States and the Soviet.
Union. This conference helped each side to focus on the practical concerns of the.
other side and it reinforced levels of negotiation which enabled them all to overcome.
serious obstacles and make remarkable progress.
The United States foreign policy framework crucial player was the Cold War.
and the collapse of the Soviet Union. Both did a lot to alter the whole world, which.
lead to drastic re-evaluation of the geo-political factors. The end of the cold war was.
supposed to create a unipolar world led by the United States, which had been one of.
the major goals of the United States. The United States wanted to lead the nations of.
the world under it's own guidance and principles. A major challenge to the unipolar.
world has come from newly emerging regional economic blocs, each around one of.
the superpowers. Economic tripolarity is also developing in the world system with.
the emergence of the United States, European, and Japanese union. It is felt that the.
arrangement encourages each power to worry that the other two will group together.
against the other and adopt excessive policies that could increase conflict. The.
factors that led the United States and the Soviet Union to be considered as.
superpowers was their capabilities to destroy each other and the world.
