A Közel-Kelet a hidegháború éveiben. Az Egyesült Államok és a Szovjetunió versenye a Közel-Kelet arab államaiért

In this study, I examine the geopolitical competition between the Uni-ted States and the Soviet Union in the Middle East. I present the main goals of the superpowers and how they tried to strengthen their influence in the Arab countries. As a result of the American-Soviet rivalry, Arab nationalism, which proclaimed Arab unity, emerged as a serious political force in the Middle East. In my essay, I examine how the idea of Arab nationalism and the United Arab Republic which relied on it, have tried to resist of the significant pressure from the United States and the Soviet Union.
