  • Summary

    The analysis of this chapter first reflects upon the structural impact of the Cold War on Middle Eastern state hegemonic strategies, including Western allies Israel, Iran and Turkey. It then discusses the impact of the revolution of 1952 on Egypt’s foreign policy of Arab neutralism. The chapter proceeds to trace the rise of the Ba’th Party in Syria, and in particular its ‘ideological co-dependency’ with Egypt, and provides an explanation for the formation and collapse of the United Arab Republic. It examines the roots of Egypt’s rivalry with Iraq between 1958 and 1963 and discusses the ideological co-dependency that formed between Nasser’s Egypt and Iraqi Nasserists and Ba’thists.
