Abstract

Most of the foreign policy analysts believe that president Obama has neglected the importance of Middle East region in the US foreign policy. They argue that the most important sign of this ignorance is non military intervention in Middle East region’s revolutionary states by the US. But contrary to this viewpoint the main assumption of this essay on the basis of the sociological approaches of International Relations is that president Obama as the rational actor as the result of complex learning instead of simple learning tried to socialize the revolutionary states in Middle East region on the basis of convincing and explaining but not military intervention. The first part of this paper talks about socialization and the second part about hegemon and revolutionary states. The third part is about the foreign policy of the United States in the period of president Obama. This paper ends with a conclusion. Data and information in this paper are gathered from different essays and the internet. This paper assumes that socialization in international relations is very important and foreign policy analysts and theorists of international relations should attend to this subject.
