Leading expert Monte Palmer argues that these factors will continue to have a major impact on the Middle East as the United States and other major powers increasingly find themselves embedded in conflicts that defy resolution. Palmer considers the lessons learned from past and current conflicts: the limits of using tyrants as avenues of force; the transformation of faith into force; the root causes of terror; and the perils of a global environment that threatens a new cold war between Russia and the United States, a war of religions between the Abrahamic faiths, and a war of terror that is rapidly becoming global. As he clearly shows, the relative dominance of faith, force, or finance is always shifting, depending on time, place, and local conditions. Drawing on cases from ten critical periods, beginning with World War I through the current chaos and stalemate, the author offers constructive paths forward for building a Middle East of peace and stability. 001395568 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001395568 650_0 $$aReligion and politics$$zMiddle East$$xHistory$$y20th century. 001395568 650_0 $$aReligion and politics$$zMiddle East$$xHistory$$y21st century. 001395568 650_0 $$aIslam and politics$$zMiddle East$$xHistory$$y20th century. 001395568 650_0 $$aIslam and politics$$zMiddle East$$xHistory$$y21st century. 001395568 651_0 $$aMiddle East$$xHistory$$y20th century. 001395568 651_0 $$aMiddle East$$xHistory$$y21st century. 001395568 651_0 $$aMiddle East$$xReligion$$y20th century. 001395568 651_0 $$aMiddle East$$xReligion$$y21st century. 001395568 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001395568 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aPalmer, Monte.$$tFuture of the Middle East : faith, force, and finance.$$dLanham, Maryland : Rowman & Littlefield, 2019 $$z9781538117880 $$w(DLC) 2018032260 001395568 852__ $$bebk 001395568 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete $$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=5511052$$zOnline Access 001395568 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1395568$$pGLOBAL_SET 001395568 980__ $$aBIB 001395568 980__ $$aEBOOK 001395568 982__ $$aEbook 001395568 983__ $$aOnline
