Abstract

This article reveals, by studying correlative relationships between US regime support and regime properties, that the US foreign policy in the Middle East has traditionally helped governments to limit the political participation of Islamists, communists, enemies of Israel and populations that could be hostile to the US oil interests. This way the US economic and strategic security interests have contributed to human insecurity in the region. With the exception of the last interest, the US has relaxed its support for repression of the above-mentioned groups. This seems to be one of the international factors that made the Arab Spring possible.

美国和阿拉伯之春

本文通过研究美国政权支持与政权性质之间的相关关系，揭示了美国在中东的外交政策传统上帮助各国政府限制伊斯兰主义者、共产主义者、以色列的敌人和可能对美国石油利益怀有敌意的人口的政治参与。就这样，美国的经济和战略安全利益加剧了该地区的人类不安全。除了最后一个利益外，美国已经放松了对上述团体镇压的支持。这似乎是使阿拉伯之春成为可能的国际因素之一。

期刊介绍： The goal of Journal of Human Security is to disseminate applied research into a secure and sustainable future for humanity. It continues the Australasian Journal of Human Security. Journal of Human Security endeavours to: - Provide a forum for researchers to foster interdisciplinary inquiry in broad human security issues such as track two diplomacy, ethnic conflict, terrorism, religious extremism, human rights, demographic change, population health, human ecology, sustainable economics and related areas. - Inform readers about upcoming events, ongoing and new research projects, trends and discussions, newly published monographs, and available scholarships. - Encourage a multidisciplinary approach to issues that have traditionally been viewed as mostly unidisciplinary. - Maintain an appeal to a wide readership with both high academic standards and close relevance to practice. - Meet international standards of excellence.
