These theoretical developments are a long-term conceptual framework of US foreign policy in the Middle East; moreover, the fact of American participation in the processes of political and military transformation of the region, as well as the desire to model the dynamics of these processes, is recognized in modern American historiography. In this context, research of the situation in the region, should be analyzed not through the prism of the theoretical understanding, but be perceived as political technologies designed to ensure the implementation of US foreign policy goals. Therefore the study of American historiography, analysis of new research approaches and methods are of scientific interest, but it must be noted that most research of well-known representatives of American scientific and political community are free from theorizing and methodological analysis, which creates certain difficulties in the study of its methodological framework.</abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru">В статье представлены основные подходы, разрабатываемые научно-политическим сообществом США касательно Турецкой Республики и ближневосточного региона в целом. Теоретические разработки американских специалистов представляют собой концептуальную основу долгосрочной внешней политики США на Ближнем Востоке; более того, подтверждают факт американского участия в процессах политической и военной трансформации региона, а также стремление моделировать динамику развития этих процессов. В этой связи исследования, посвященные анализу ситуации в регионе, целесообразно рассматривать не столько через призму теоретического осмысления, сколько воспринимать в качестве политических технологий, призванных обеспечить реализацию внешнеполитических целей США. В этом контексте изучение американской историографии, анализ новых исследовательских подходов и методов исследований представляет несомненный научный интерес, однако приходится констатировать, что большинство работ известных представителей американского научно-политического сообщества отличаются публицистичностью и не содержат серьезного теоретического и методологического анализа, что создает сложности в процессе исследования их методологической базы.</trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Turkey</kwd><kwd>USA</kwd><kwd>Middle East</kwd><kwd>American historiography</kwd><kwd>scientific and political community</kwd><kwd>think tanks</kwd><kwd>international relations</kwd><kwd>methodology</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Турция</kwd><kwd>США</kwd><kwd>Ближний Восток</kwd><kwd>американская историография</kwd><kwd>научно-политическое сообщество</kwd><kwd>аналитические центры</kwd><kwd>международные отношения</kwd><kwd>методология</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Джеймс Г.
