主讲人：乔尔·S·米格代尔教授（Joel Samuel Migdal），华盛顿大学
讲座内容：美国在二战结束时成为中东的一个日常角色。美国对其在该地区的存在和将发挥的作用是否有一个总体计划，如果有，是什么？对美国将在该地区扮演的角色和参与的界限上，不同行政部门之间是否有着共同的思路?本讲座将探讨这些问题，展示20世纪下半叶美国政策的一致性问题，以及二十一世纪以来三位总统——小布什、奥巴马和特朗普——发生的巨大转向。
主讲人介绍：米格代尔教授现为华盛顿大学亨利·杰克逊国际事务研究院罗伯特·菲利浦讲座教授。他1972年获哈佛大学政治学博士学位，师从美国著名政治学教授塞缪尔·亨廷顿，在比较政治学、政治社会学、中东政治、美国外交政策等领域享有国际学术声誉，独著，编著了12本著作。其中1988年所著《强社会与弱国家：第三世界的国家社会关系及国家能力》开创了政治学中了国家社会二元分析的范式，对比较政治学领域产生了深远的影响。其最近的代表作Shifting Sands: The United States in the Middle East对美国在中东近70年的外交政策进行了系统性的梳理和反思。
United States in The Middle East
Joel Samuel Migdal,
Professor at University of Washington

Venue: Chengzhi Building 301
Abstract: The United States became an everyday player in the Middle East at the end of World War II. Did the United States have an overall plan for its presence in the region and the role it would play, and, if so, what was it? Was there a common thread from administration to administration on the role the United States would play in the region and the limits to its participation? This lecture explores these questions, showing the consistency of U.S. policy in the second half of the twentieth century and the radical turns that all three presidents in the twenty-first century—George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump—have taken.
