Summary:


Monshipouri (international relations, San Francisco State U.) describes this study: "First, I move beyond a critique of the Bush administration's policies...to offer three models for approaching key security concerns....Second, I discuss new challenges that have emerged in the face of recent European counterterrorism policies....Third, I pay special attention to the breakdown of the power dynamics into regional blocs." Discussion encompasses the risks and costs of military intervention, failed efforts at democracy promotion in the Middle East, long-term diplomatic solutions, and immigration politics and the rise of Islamophobia, among other topics.
