THE KUWAIT CRISIS IN THE MIDDLE EAST POLICY OF THE EEC MEMBER STATES IN THE EARLY 1990-S
Abstract
The deals with the complex situation in the Persian Gulf caused by Iraq's aggression against Kuwait in the summer of 1990. The author has revealed the contradictory position of the EEC member states in the Kuwait question, which led to their participation in the joint U.S. military campaign against Iraq. It has been proved that this action contributed to the strengthening of the American presence in the Middle East and, at the same time, the weakening of Western Europe’s position.
