Title: Islam and the West: Conflict or Cooperation?
Description: Basingstoke Palgrave Macmillan, 2003. Paperback octavo, very good plus condition. 171 pp. A broad-ranging assessment of relations between the Muslim and Western worlds in the contemporary era and historically. More than a "clash of civilizations" and a "war on terror" is involved as a response to the Sept 11 2001 terrorist attacks. These relations have been marked by long periods of peaceful coexistence, but also by many instances of tension, hostility, and mutual recrimination. The Australian political scientist assesses the impact of the continuing Arab-Israeli conflict, the consequences of the Iranian revolution and of the wars in the Gulf and Afghanistan, and charts a course for future coexistence.
