By all accounts, the overall relationship between the US and the Muslim world is marked by confrontation at several levels. In the aftermath of 9/11, a great deal needs to be done to build bridges between America and the Muslim world. A broad and immediate shift in America's policies towards the Muslim world is necessary.
What is the appropriate paradigm for the war on terrorism? How should the US now deal with authoritarian regimes considered its traditional allies in the Muslim world? How should the US deal with civil society, opposition parties, and other Islamist groups, often located within these friends and allies? How can the US maintain a close alliance with Israel while still continuing positive relations with Muslim states and movements? US Policy Towards the Muslim World seeks to find answers to these and similar questions.
The volume is comprised of fourteen contributions from specialists in the field. It is a serious attempt to address and analyze key factors affecting US interests and suggests measures for the US policy makers. The main objective is to provide a policy framework that will enable the US to face the challenges posed and opportunities thrown open in the Muslim world.
