Abstract

Since the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, which was one of the powers in the Bipolar System of the past, the world has entered the Multipolar Age over the past 10 years. The disintegration of the Soviet Union led to the collapse of the Cold War and signified the creation of a new order in the international relations. The United States of America had developed its influence in the Middle Eastern region as a realistic policy for the protection of oil in the midst of the restraint by the Soviet Union during the Cold War period. However, the U.S. has been provoking the Arab countries to anger by adopting pro-Israel policy for its diplomatic policies between the Middle East and Islam since the end of the Cold War. The excessive pro-Israel policy and the hard line policy against the Islam of the U.S. have made all the regions of the world to counter the U.S. policies. Especially, such policies have drastically increased the anti-American sentiment in the Islamic world. Today The U.S. is strongly biased against the Middle Eastern and the Islamic world both culturally and religiously. Moreover, judging some parts of the Middle Eastern or the Islamic world as the terrorist group can be seen as a major problem from todays international relations focused on diversity. This paper is has studied what kind of influence such U.S. perception on the Middle East and Islam had on its Middle Eastern policies. In other words, this study has looked deeply into how the U.S., a country that has been constructing the most powerful empire on earth based on the Western standard, and its perception of the Middle Eastern countries and the Islamic society have changed and closely examined what kind of effect such perceptions had on the U.S. policies against the Middle East, divided into the periods of during the Cold War and after the cold War.
