Abstract: The Middle East has always been characterized as a conflict-ridden region. The common belief in the academia is that the Middle East is a region with backward traditions in which democratic values cannot take roots. This paper argues that it is the US hegemony that is responsible for much of the turmoil in the region and looks at the issue from more theoretical perspective-namely Hegemonic Stability Theory- and maintains that the existence of a hegemon does not always guarantee order and stability.
