Paperback. Condition: New. Salafism, comprised of fundamentalist Islamic movements whose adherents consider themselves the only "saved" sect of Islam, has been little studied, remains shrouded in misconceptions, and has provoked new interest as Salafists have recently staked a claim to power in some Arab states while spearheading battles against "infidel" Arab regimes during recent rebellions in the Arab world. Robert G. Rabil examines the emergence and development of Salafism into a prominent religious movement in Lebanon, including the ideological and sociopolitical foundation that led to the three different schools of Salafism in Lebanon: quietist Salafists, Haraki (active) Salafists; and Salafi Jihadists. Emphasizing their manhaj (methodology) toward politics, the author surveys Salafists' ideological transformation from opponents to supporters of political engagement. Their antagonism to Hezbollah, which they denounce as the party of Satan, has risen exponentially following the party's seizure of Beirut in 2008 and support of the tyrannical Syrian regime.Salafism in Lebanon also demonstrates how activists and jihadi Salafists, in response to the political weakness of Sunni leadership, have threatened regional and international security by endorsing violence and jihad. Drawing on field research trips, personal interviews, and Arabic primary sources, the book explores the relationship between the ideologies of the various schools of Salafism and their praxis in relation to Lebanese politics. The book should interest students and scholars of Islamic movements, international affairs, politics and religion, and radical groups and terrorism.…

Paperback. Condition: New. No empire or a regional power has helped mold the socio-political and religious landscape of a country as the Ottoman Empire and its heir (the Republic of Turkey) have helped shape modern Lebanon, yet no contemporary study has examined Lebanon-Turkey relations back to Ottoman rule of Lebanon. As such, the understanding of this historic and contemporaneous relationship is deficient. This text fills this gap, examining patterns and shifts in Lebanon-Turkey relations within the context of regional and international politics from Ottoman rule to Turkey's AKP-led governments. This comprehensive account of Lebanon-Turkey relations-grounded in layers of cultural, political, demographic, economic, and sectarian complexities and changes across centuries-analyzes the developments and dynamics that have helped shape modern Lebanon and its confessional system and politics. It underscores the misconceptions and lessons learned from this long-term relationship, locating Lebanon-Turkey relations along a historical continuum.…

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveränderung. Since gaining independence from France in 1946, Syria has played a vital role in Middle Eastern politics, with U.S.-Syria relations fluctuating as Washington balances its commitment to Israel's security and support for Arab regimes. The Arab-Israeli conflict is no longer the sole focus; terrorism has become a significant factor. Syria has been on the State Department's terrorism list since 1979 and faced increased isolation after opposing the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003. The new Syrian leadership, in power since 2000, confronts challenges in maintaining its regional status amid internal and external threats. This tension has led to a collision course with the U.S. over issues like terrorism, arms proliferation, Lebanon, the Middle East peace process, and Iraq. Syria's role is crucial for U.S. interests, as it can influence stability in a volatile region. Recent events, including the assassination of a Lebanese politician and subsequent protests, prompted the withdrawal of Syrian troops from Lebanon. This action, while averting immediate violence, drew U.S. accusations of Syria's destabilizing influence and support for insurgents in Iraq. The U.S.-Syrian relationship is essential for promoting democracy in the Middle East, with ongoing U.S. pressure on Syria to combat terrorism domestically. Rabil offers a historical overview of this complex relationship within the broader context of Middle Eastern politics.…
