US Foreign Policy & Redrawing the Map of the Arab World PDF Print E-mail
Sunday, 22 April 2007
Azmi Bishara is a Christian Arab human rights activist and Israeli citizen from Nazareth. He is the founder of the Arab Students Union in Israel and the National Democratic Assembly (Balad); former Head of the Philosophy Department at Bir Zeit University; and a senior researcher in the Van Leer Institute, Jerusalem.

In this talk, Dr. Bishara discusses the radical change from a unipolar world, since the fall of the Soviet Union, to the mode of unilateralism and what this means in the context of international relations. Bishara seeks to highlight this shift by drawing on methods and justifications used prior to the the war on Iraq. He also investigates the dawning reality of 'global terrorism' and how this has influenced this shift. He dedicates a large part of the talk however, to the Arab-Israeli conflict and the pivotal role that US foreign policy has in settling this age-long 'conflict.
