I am a PhD. Student from Glenmora, Louisiana. I am interested in foreign policy and diplomatic relations. My research interest is in America’s relationship with Israel and wider U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. Specifically, I am interested in how Eisenhower utilized the concepts of “enlightened self-interest” and modernization to resolve the Arab-Israeli Conflict, and garner regional support for American containment policies.
