Abstrakt
Za rządów prezydenta George’a W. Busha, Stany Zjednoczone zaangażowały się w szereg inicjatyw na rzecz demokratyzacji i stabilizacji gospodarczej Bliskiego Wschodu. Zakładano, iż zmiana ustroju, szerzenie wolności politycznych oraz ekonomicznych zmniejszy ekstremizm i antyamerykanizm w regionie, co miało przełożyć się na zwiększenie bezpieczeństwa zarówno na Bliskim Wschodzie, jak i w USA. W niniejszym artykule autorka przeanalizowała założenia kluczowych inicjatyw uruchomionych podczas pierwszej kadencji G. W. Busha, uwzględniając wady i zalety programów, problemy przy ich realizacji. Przedstawiono również opinie krytyczne oraz reakcję krajów arabskich i państw europejskich na propozycje USA.Bibliografia
