Nasser, with his penchant for decisive action against the West, developed a following throughout the Arab world, inspiring "Nasserist" political parties dedicated to aggressive Arab nationalism. Many saw Nasser as the leader of the Arab world, the representative of a new, defiant era in Arabic politics. Nasser's policies became associated with the ideology of Pan-Arabism, which promoted strong, aggressive government action on the part of the Arab states in order to confront the "imperialist" West, and urged that the resources of the Arab states should be used for the benefit of the Arab people and not the West.
