DESCRIPTION:Marc Lynch argues that the United States’ post–Cold War app
 roach to the Middle East has repeatedly failed\, as ambitions for leadersh
 ip and stability instead generated war\, instability\, and humanitarian di
 saster. He shows how presidents’ attempts to reshape or exit the region\
 , ignore local views\, and sidestep the Palestinian issue doomed policy. M
 oving between US politics and regional realities\, he explains why these c
 ostly failures persist. Lynch is a political science professor at George W
 ashin\n\nCONTACT: csbarr@wisc.edu\n\nURL: https://mideast.wisc.edu/event/a
