Abstract:
The American Propaganda activity in the Middle East ( 1947 - 1979 ) is regarded as one of the subjects which is characterized with vitality and relatively newly started within the his torical studies. Having such Topics and putting them within the limits of historical research and trying to search its components by the researchers in new and contemporary history aim to raise the level of the exsisting higher studies so as to create researchers who can reach the stage of so - called " Organic Rsearcher " who is capable of creation and innovation in his scientific and cultural productionSo the close look at the topic of the study reveals its great vitality because it is connected with integrated Relationship with several scientific tendencies some of which are close to the essence of the scientific science and harmonious with it to a great extent. And this ensures the strength of ties and reaction between history which can be described as an in dependent science and the methodical research of the political science and its world. Accordingly , because of the specialization of this study in the nature of the American propaganda and its objectives towards the Middle East in general and its important corner stones , namely ( Iraq - Iran ) , added a comprehensive quality to the subject and its components. The propaganda , basically , is in clusion of the state that made the propaganda and tries through its actions to show all the beautiful and positive aspects in front of the peoples targeted by the propaganda and hide all bad things. In view of what is previously mentioned , this thesis aims to search the literature of the American propaganda and its components for the states that are being studied to understand the nature of the political , strategic and cultural objectives which , in general , affected the political , cultural and security situation in these states , especially with the extreme increase in the cold war which we may call " the ideological war ". Al though Washington didn't adopt clear - cut intellectual visions or specific political strategy , it still in most of the cases , depended on her intelligence systems in running the conflict with the Soviets through its confidential operations in Iraq and Iran. The thesis was divided into four chapters in which the researcher depended on taking the basic elements of the subject according to integrated methodical Unity of the subject with his deep concern about the sequence of events as much as possible. The first chapter was devoted to Search the of the propaganda within its general terms and to identify its principles until it changed into science which deals with propaganda activity phenomenon and its techniques. In addition to that , identification of the geopolitical limits of The Middle East term historically and politically and focusing on the most prominent active and important states within its vital scope to reach the beginnings of the American tendencies most of which were dominated by the propagandic style without political purposes.As for the American propaganda towards Iraq. the researcher has found out that the generalization of scientific advantage obliged him to divide the subject into two chapters because of its numerous events and the unique transitions of the political events which offected its social and political situation. One of them , the second chapter , the nature of the American political propaganda which depended on the mutual security strategy and publicizing the importance of protecting Iraq and its security against communism. In addition , America followed confidential Operation strategy which overthrew Abid Al - Kareem Qasim's regime in April , 1963. The third chapter has shed light light on aspects of the American intellectual and cultural propaganda in Iraq and how the propaganda planner could affect the tendencies of the Iraqi intelligentsia through a group of thoughts which depended on the technology of the theatre and cinema and following The provision of subsidized American book through allocating the funds for the American publishing establishments. As for the fourth chapter , the study has identified the intellectual and political tendencies for the American Propaganda in Iran. "The information of this chapter has had considerable importance which we can depend on because the cold war and its consequences started from this Middle East state as most of Washington politizians confessed owing the insistence of the Soviet Union to keep its forces north of Iran. Furthermore , the subject of the chapter focused on " Ajax " operation led by the Ameri can intelligence to overthrow Musadak in 1953 also the chapter delt with the Ialamic Revolution in 1979. The study depended on different collections of genuine resources including American and Iraqi documents , in addition to academic studies such as : Letters and theses and lots of foreign book , Arabic and translated books are available in this thesis. The study has reached important results , some of which are : The propaganda with its fluctuation and attraction represented one of the methods which has taken the lead to consolidate the concept of the new state because it is an establishment concerned with the expression of the official tendencies of the government. It is important to reveal that the propaganda has started from the lobbies of clergy of the Christian church. Focusing on the nature of the American tendencies towards the Middle East , it is quite obvious that the American strategy is always dependent on mere propagandic bases. The ideological concepts of the American policy , being not obvious , made the decision maker in Washington mix the pragmatism and the end justifies the means policy and this what happened in Iraq and Iran through the confidential operations done by the American intelligence to overthrow Abid Al - kareem Qasim regime in Iraq and Muhammad Mosadaq in Iran. It also contributed to make Al - Baa'th party assume power in 1968 and not giving the support necessary to shah Muhammad Rudha Pahlawi.
