Description
Book SynopsisThe United States' mercurial foreign policies toward the Muslim world--including actions taken against Islamic countries who have challenged the U.S.'s regional dominance and alliances with Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia--are expertly examined in this incisive treatise. Islamic revivalism, the emergence of a highly political Islamic population, the rise of terrorism, and other recent sociopolitical changes are also thoroughly discussed.
Trade Review"a valuable summary of the U.S.'s tenuous relationship with the Islamic world." - Frances Hudson Oneal, Professor of International Relations, University of Alabama "Dr. Chintamani Mahapatra has come out with an incisive study of current US perception of Islam and policy towards select Muslim countries. It is a well researched book that delineates the thinking and goals of leading policy planners and think-tanks in the United States towards Muslim countries; and the fall-out of these policies especially for India. The work presents a balanced analysis; besides being, of course, very timely. The book is a must read for specialists and scholars on US strategic policy and developments in the Muslim world." - Abdul Nafey, Chairman, Centre for Canadian, US & Latin American Studies, JNU, New Delhi "Dr. Chintamani Mahapatra is well known as a specialist of American Studies in India and his book is a testimony to his insightful observations..." - P. Stobdan, Director, Centre for Strategic and Regional Studies, University of Jammu"
