- Title
The Central Treaty Organization -- Element of the Western Anti-Soviet System.
- Authors
Ghenghea, Mircea-Cristian
- Abstract
Very little known at the level of our historiography regarding the Cold War, the Central Treaty Organization represented an important geo-strategic component within the Anti-Soviet plan of the United States of America and Great Britain in the Middle East. Although reconfigured and renamed after the withdrawal of Iraq from the alliance (1959), when it got this name, the organization gradually came out from the forefront of the political relations in the region even in the '60s. Several factors contributed to this: the tensions between the Arab states and Israel, the increasing discontents of the Arab population towards the British diplomacy and also the disregard for certain ethnic, social and economic realities specific to the Middle East. The extinction by dissolution, in 1979, was a logical end for the organization that had actually meant nothing in the region for more than a decade.
