Abstract
This research article explains Gamal Abdel Nasser’s rise to supremacy in the Middle Eastern politics from 1952 to 1961. It further evaluates the domestic and foreign policies of President Nasser as implied in the ideology of Pan-Arabism; how these ideas, associated with the vibrant political leadership of Nasser, permitted Egypt to enter in the mainstream politics in order to bring revolutionary changes inside and outside the region. It also throws light on the formation and breakup of the United Arab Republic (UAR) and examines Nasser’s intrinsic motives behind this union. This period demonstrated Nasser’s charismatic personality as the President of Egypt and later on as the founder of the United Arab Republic. The research paper also gives a thorough analysis of how Egypt acquired the status of a regional political power for two decades in Middle East under Nasser’s dynamic leadership. Egypt has been the only country in the Middle East that could unite and lead its neighboring countries for a period of time under the leadership of Nasser. This study provides a comprehensive outlook of the international conflicts which Egypt confronted during the Presidency of Nasser.
