Abstract
Has the Obama administration opened a new era in the Middle East? The article argues that intentions and reality are still divergent. This is explained by several factors. Specific political contingencies in the region, the way in which the region's issues are interrelated and the domestic structure of US foreign policymaking, have all contributed to generate a situation of deadlock.

The Middle East might be the site for testing a new transatlantic relationship.
