Polityka administracji George’a W. Busha wobec Bliskiego Wschodu – o planach demokratyzacji i stabilizacji gospodarczej regionu
The policy of the George W. Bush administration towards the Middle East – the plans of democratisation and economic stabilisation

Summary/Abstract: During the presidency of George W. Bush, the United States became involved in a number of initiatives aimed at the democratisation and economic stabilisation of the Middle East. The change of the poitical system there, the propagation of political and economic liberties were assumed to alleviate extremism and anti-Americanism in the region, thus translating into increased security both in the Middle East and the United States. The author of this paper analyses the assumptions of key initiatives imple- mented during the first term of George W. Bush, accounting for the strengths and weaknesses of these programmes and problems implementing them. She also presents the critical opinions and responses by Arab and European states to US proposals.
