ISBN: 9781500531485 / Angielski / Miękka / 28 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. According to senior State officials, the overarching U.S. policy goal in Yemen is to create a stable and secure state. To achieve that goal, the U.S. assistance strategy has for years included both a security element focused on counterterrorism activities and a civilian element focused on development activities. In 2009, in response to the increasing economic, social, and political challenges facing Yemen, the U.S. government undertook a comprehensive review of its policy toward Yemen. This review led to a whole-of-government strategy that still includes both security and civilian assistance,...

The Muslim Brotherhood and the Perception of Democracy
ISBN: 9781500533267 / Angielski / Miękka / 110 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The objective of this study is to assess the Muslim Brotherhood's prospects to facilitate a democratic transition within Egypt. Numerous studies have examined the Muslim Brotherhood's political ideology to objectively assess its consistency with democracy. However, to date there has been no comparative subjective study conducted to assess the Muslim Brotherhood's capacity to facilitate democracy within Egypt. This thesis will attempt to fill that gap by subjectively measuring the Muslim Brotherhood's democratic intentions as perceived by other important actors within the Egyptian polity since...

ISBN: 9781500534929 / Angielski / Miękka / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The education system of Egypt has always reflected the type of society and national identity the political leadership wanted to establish.

Governance, Identity, and Counterinsurgency: Evidence From Ramadi and Tal Afar
ISBN: 9781500560225 / Angielski / Miękka / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The premise of most Western thinking on counterinsurgency is that success depends on establishing a perception of legitimacy among local populations. The path to legitimacy is often seen as the improvement of governance in the form of effective and efficient administration of government and public services. However, good governance is not the only possible basis for claims to legitimacy. This monograph considers whether, in insurgencies where ethno-religious identities are politically salient, claims to legitimacy may rest more on the identity of who governs, rather than on how those people...

Historical Review of U.S. Foreign Aid as a Tool of Foreign Policy in Israel and Egypt During 1952-1969
ISBN: 9781500568238 / Angielski / Miękka / 34 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Foreign aid is considered a continuation of diplomacy by other means and a tool of foreign policy. However, in the current lean economic times, the competition for limited budgetary resources is fierce and the effectiveness of U.S. foreign aid at projecting U.S. influence is hotly debated within the government and the American public. This research builds on previous studies by examining the use of foreign aid as a U.S. foreign policy tool in Egypt and Israel through select historical examples from the 1950s and 1960s. The United States considers the Middle East stability to be a top national...

Inexorable Conflict or Opportunity: The United States and the Middle East
ISBN: 9781500588151 / Angielski / Miękka / 40 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Middle East has been a source of conflict since recorded time. It is the locale of the struggle for Muslim identity and legitimacy. The Christian West and the United States have played a causal role in Muslim setbacks there. In the eyes of Middle Eastern Muslims, current issues and problems are mystically, emotionally, and eternally tied to the past - a past that has been threatened by Western advancement and progress. Such perceptions in the Muslim Middle East have led to resentment and disaffection toward the West. The challenge for the United States, as the world's leading superpower,...

Technology, Concepts, and Tactics and the Islamic Way of War
ISBN: 9781500588601 / Angielski / Miękka / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The United States has attempted for several decades to assist in the modernization of armies in the Middle East. These armies are rich in tradition and heritage of medieval and pre-modern Islamic armies. Islamic armies possess an ability to assimilate technology, concepts, and tactics from external sources, but refuse to assimilate the associated culture of that technology. Instead, they choose to use foreign ideas and technology in an Islamic manner. They create massive land armies of untrained soldiers unable to assimilate modern technology, concepts, and tactics. Their inability to develop...

Will ISIS Cause a Nuclear War?: An Examination of Recent Events According to Bible Prophecy
ISBN: 9781500633028 / Angielski / Miękka / 62 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The terrorist group ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, ) also called ISIL (Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, ) could easily assemble the prophesied "Psalm 83 coalition" against Israel. According to Bible prophecy, the nations of Iran, Syria, and Egypt, will not join in this coalition. Recent events explain their absence in this army. The Bible also asserts that one third of the world will be destroyed by fire, after Israel destroys this coalition. Recent tensions between Russia and the United States explain how this could occur.

The 21st Century Lawrence of Arabia: Fighting Insurgency Through Good Governance
ISBN: 9781500730970 / Angielski / Miękka / 28 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. By late 2003, The United States found itself engaged in two similar but distinct counterinsurgency conflicts. Similar in that the host nation populations emerged as the military and political center of gravity, yet fundamentally different by this very same reason. In both Iraq and Afghanistan, the adversary fought for the very same goals - winning the support of the people. Their distinct cultural and ethnic advantage with the civilian populace, required the U.S. military and coalition partners to recognize the viable role local governance played in population sentiment. The one emerging...

Lebanon: A Convergence of Political Islam and Criminality
ISBN: 9781500749668 / Angielski / Miękka / 110 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Kamal Salibi, a recognized Lebanese historian, described Lebanese society as "liberal and tolerant, traditional rather than zealous or fanatical in its attitude towards religion and political ideology." Unfortunately, the openness that defined Lebanon's success also led to its failures. Confessionalism, a fragile political environment resulting in a perpetually weak central government, and internal meddling by Lebanon's neighbors and imperial powers have framed its fractured history. The country of Lebanon is a sum of its parts (i.e., religion, politics, economy), parts that can be examined...

The Sunni Spring: Counter-Attack in the War for Islamic Civilization
ISBN: 9781500750961 / Angielski / Miękka / 38 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book examines the Arab Spring in light of the past half century of efforts in transnational Arab identity formation and thus considers its links to Arab Nationalism and Pan-Islamism. Then, with a focus on Syria and the sectarian nature of that conflict, it considers the Arab Spring in juxtaposition to the widely-held notions of Shia revival and Shia Crescent. It then speculates on what may be happening at the transnational identity or civilizational level in the Middle East and considers three possible long-term outcomes.
