الملخص الإنجليزي

There are two major views that explain or try to give an answer to the question ‘why did the US wage war on Iraq in 1991’.

Some scholars believe that the US waged its war for geopolitical reasons that aimed at dominating the Middle East after the US was left alone with the collapse of the USSR.

Others believe that in waging this war the US was responding to societal factors.

These two views that try to explain the proposed question can be seen to reflect two theories in international relations; realism vs.

liberalism. In the study proposed here, an attempt will be carried out to tackle the question : Why did the US wage war on Iraq in 1991 through presenting a debate between the different authors that represent the two schools of thought, realism and liberalism.

More importantly, it will test which of the two theories happens to provide better explanations and predictions in this particular case study.

An attempt will also be taken to show the faults (if any) in both theories.
