The concept of the Greater Middle East from the angle of national security Abstract: The article evaluates the Greater Middle East Concept as presented by the Administration of President Bush-junior in November 2003. It is based on the democratization and reconstruction of the Middle East and Northern Africa, where previously used US foreign policy on support of authoritarian regimes for the sake of stability and security failed. Based upon the analysis it was found out that the concept of the Greater Central Asia was to a great degree based upon the ideas of the Greater Middle East, but it was applied to a more limited region. It was shown that both concepts formed an inalienable part of the US regional policy for both the Republican and Democratic rule. It was noted that the activities of the USA led to destabilization of the situation in the Middle East and in the Central Asia, which had negative impact on the national security situation in the Russian Federation. Keywords: political science, East, the USA, reconstruction, democratization, Asia, Russia, security, interests, concept. This article can be downloaded freely in PDF format for reading.
