Abstract

On June 23-25, 2002, RAND's Center for Middle East Public Policy and the Geneva Center for Security Policy held a workshop on terrorism and asymmetric conflict in Southwest Asia. Discussions were organized around four themes: military lessons from the Afghan campaign, terrorism and asymmetric warfare, regional dimensions of the conflict, and Euro-Atlantic relations in Southwest Asia. Although the United States and Europe share similar interests in relation to Southwest Asia, they have adopted divergent tactics toward the region.

Abstract

Dans cet ouvrage, publié pour la première fois en 1992, Olivier Roy énonce une thèse en apparence paradoxale : l'essor des mouvements islamistes signe l'échec de l'islam politique. Si les fondamentalistes conçoivent le Coran comme un programme de gouvernement et croient possible de construire une société fondée sur ses préceptes en les imposant depuis l'Etat, les expériences analysées dans ce livre, en Iran, en Afghanistan et ailleurs, montrent que le concept d'Etat islamique est contradictoire et impossible à réaliser. Vingt ans plus tard, le revers des partis islamistes qui ont accédé au pouvoir après le Printemps arabe confirme la justesse de cette analyse. Mais cet ouvrage précurseur invite surtout à penser autrement qu'à travers un prisme essentialiste la vague de néo-fondamentalisme que connaissent nombre de pays musulmans et la recrudescence de l'activisme djihadiste à travers le monde. Postface inédite de l'auteur.

Abstract

At the beginning of the twenty-first century countries in the Middle East and North Africa contend with the threats and opportunities of economic globalization, the driving force of change in the contemporary world. As the authors confirm in their straightforward and, at times, irreverent analysis of the regions' response to these challenges, it is globalization which is the key to an understanding of economic reform. Through an investigation of the structures of state and civil society, including financial systems, they also demonstrate that there is a direct correlation between economic performance and democratization. In other words, the more liberal the polity, the more effective is its economy in responding to globalization. With its interesting and incisive approach to the politics and economics of the Middle East and North Africa, this will be an essential purchase for students and policy-makers and anyone trying to come to grips with economic globalization generally.
