| Summary/Abstract |
In its essence, the Arab Spring is about "being Arab," in the words of the late Lebanese journalist Samir Kassir. This essay explores the two fold meaning of this Arab awakening as the emergence of a homogeneous yet plural field of Arab culture and its integration into the mosaic of global culture. Also assessed are America's careful and selective search for relevancy in this veritable revolution sweeping across the Middle East, the impact of fast-moving events on the US-Israel relationship, and the long-term significance of the Arab Spring for future American policy in the region.

| Summary/Abstract |
In Asia as around the world, 2008 was a challenging year. On the one hand, it teemed with disasters, both man-made and natural, amid growing apprehension as the shock-waves of the American financial tsunami ricocheted throughout the region. On the other, guarded houe for renewal was inspired (for some) by the arrival of new political leadership.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article uncovers the unexplored history of the men and women who used their GI Bill stipends to study at foreign institutions in the years following World War II. The rapid expansion of the GI Bill’s educational subsidies abroad and the numerous challenges that expansion presented highlighted the possibilities and risks of educational exchanges as a diplomatic tool during the Cold War. Moreover, the unanticipated outcomes of the GI program helped shape a framework for subsequent educational exchange initiatives including the most successful government-sponsored exchange, the Fulbright program. Ultimately, this article demonstrates that as a policy for veterans of a world war, the GI Bill was not simply domestic in scope, but rather a program that bridged the domestic and the global in a way that was representative of broader American policy in the postwar years.

The North's philosophy of rule bears close resemblance to what Koreans traditionally said about their kings-or what Hegel said about the German monarch. .

| Summary/Abstract |
Using US policy toward Turkey in the 1950s as a case study, this article argues that any discussion of the role of modernization discourse in US policy-making must begin by recognizing its malleability. Modernization as an ideology could, in the agile minds of American diplomats, serve to articulate and justify diverse, even contradictory policies. In the Turkish case policymakers invoked modernization to support, and oppose, democracy and dictatorship alike. Malleability also enabled modernization to simultaneously serve as policy and propaganda: At the same time the US government implemented programs that sought to modernize Turkey's military, economy, and even its population, the US Information Service, with the active cooperation of the Turkish government, quite consciously crafted propaganda to advertise America's modernity in order to win support for the US-Turkish alliance.

| Summary/Abstract |
Joe Soss and Lawrence R. Jacobs argue that the widely held prediction that rising inequalities would motivate the disadvantaged to use their political rights seems to falter badly in the United States today. They present findings that demonstrate how inequality has reshaped participation patterns in the American polity.

| Summary/Abstract |
AMERICAN POLICY toward the Middle East has been a dismal failure for the past thirty-five years, if not longer. Officials have approached policymaking in the Middle East without a clear sense of the region’s history, poverty, predominance of authoritarian rule or intraregional relationships. The failure begins with the concept of “separate peace”—the basis of the 1978–79 U.S.-sponsored negotiations between Egypt and Israel—which never led to a broader settlement. It has continued with Washington’s haphazard response to the tumult of the past five years since the Arab Spring, the rise of Daesh (ISIS) and the continuing stream of dislocations flowing from the invasion of Iraq. Each failure has only deepened the sense that the region is beyond repair. Hence, the American public and many elites are tempted by simplistic solutions—draw back from the region even further; deepen support for authoritarian regimes; take extreme measures to end refugee flows; provide Syrian rebels advanced arms; “carpet-bomb.” The sense of frustration is understandable, but doubling down on failed policies will not work.

| Summary/Abstract |
The long-standing American policy of fighting leftist or nonaligned regimes in the Middle East through radical Islamist insurgencies has had disastrous consequences, one of the more recent being the rise of the Islamic State. P Krishna Mohan Reddy and C Sheela Reddy observe that the West now seems confused and unwilling to play a decisive role in the expanding war, which can only be settled through the mediation of the major global powers.

| Summary/Abstract |
SINCE 2005, American policy makers have increasingly turned to sophisticated types of economic sanctions as a foreign-policy tool of first resort. From the development of banking sanctions limiting Iran’s ability to secure financing from Western capital markets to new sanctions targeting Russia’s financial system and the development of its oil resources, U.S. policy makers are touting these innovative tools as extremely powerful while also being tailored and precise. The Obama administration’s 2015 National Security Strategy, for example, said that “targeted economic sanctions remain an effective tool for imposing costs on . . . irresponsible actors” and that “our sanctions will continue to be carefully designed and tailored to achieve clear aims while minimizing any unintended consequences for other economic actors, the global economy, and civilian populations.”

| Summary/Abstract |
The September 2010 collision between a Chinese fishing boat and a Japanese coast guard ship showed the ambiguities in American policy on the Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands. On the one hand, Washington has said that it takes no position on the sovereignty of the islands; on the other, it is bound by the terms of the US-Japan security treaty to defend the islands. In a larger context, the incident highlighted a geopolitical dilemma for Japan: how to position itself between a rising China and a United States that seems to be in a state of decline. China, on the rise, seems to be testing its role with regard to the other two powers. The United States, which also sees itself in decline, is asking similar questions. The waxing and waning power of Russia exerts additional counter-pressures.

| Summary/Abstract |
The voting of Jews in the 2012 US presidential election is discussed in this article within the context of a recent reexamination of historical data on Jewish voting. Two Election-Night polls of Jews and the largest scientific survey of Jews to date make this detailed exploration of Jewish voting possible. Voting differences among Jews are analyzed, especially among major denominational movements. The role of American policy on the Middle East merits specific attention, particularly given concern about the potential Iranian nuclear threat to Israel. Explanations of Jewish liberalness and Democratic identification are considered, with a special focus on the role of social identity. A reluctance of Jewish conservatives to identify as Republicans is discussed as well as how Jewish conservatives react to economic and social issues. The possibility of a party realignment of Jews along generational and denominational lines is considered, as well as the impact of the Republican alliance with Evangelical Christians and the Tea Party.
