| Summary/Abstract |
On January 25, 2011, tens of thousands of Egyptians took to the streets, demanding an end to the nearly 30-year rule of President Hosni Mubarak. Eighteen days later, Mubarak stepped down. In Tahrir Square, the crowds cried, “Lift your head high, you’re an Egyptian.” “We can breathe fresh air, we can feel our freedom,” Gamal Heshmat, a former member of parliament, told The New York Times [2]. “After 30 years of absence from the world, Egypt is back.”

| Summary/Abstract |
If President Bush hopes to make good on his promise to bring democracy to the Arab world, he must rethink U.S. strategy, which overemphasizes civil society and economic development. Neither has caused much political liberalization in the Middle East, nor have more punitive measures. To promote Arab democracy, Washington needs a new approach: offering financial incentives for political reform.

| Summary/Abstract |
Turkey is now more polarized than at any other time since the left-right violence that engulfed the country during the 1970s. As Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the Justice and Development Party (AKP) have lurched from one crisis to another over the last two years, the domestic coalition that brought them to power has fractured. In an effort to satisfy different constituencies, AKP has jettisoned prudent reformism in favour of ad hoc policies. If its Western partners do not act, Turkey will drift away from the United States and Europe in the powerful undercurrents of populism, nationalism and authoritarianism.

| Summary/Abstract |
The article situates Turkey's approach to the Middle East in a broader historical context, demonstrating that there is more continuity in Ankara's approach to the region than observers tend to believe. It also argues that specific domestic political, economic, and global patterns of politics are likely to produce a divergence between the USA and Turkey on critical Middle Eastern issues, notably the Israeli-Palestinian problem and Iran's drive for regional influence. In an unintended way, however, the Arab awakening may drive a greater confluence of interests between Washington and Ankara.
