Making Sense Of Pakistan

  • Making Sense Of Pakistan

  • Attribution

    Farzana Shaikh

  • Publication Details

    Book, Columbia University Press, 2009

  • Description

    Farzana Shaikh argues that though external influences and domestic politics have unquestionably shaped Pakistan, an uncertainty about the meaning of Pakistan and the significance of “being Pakistani” lies at the heart of the state’s social and political decline. Even more ominous, national insecurities have given rise to a dangerous symbiosis between Pakistan’s armed forces and Muslim extremists, rival contenders in the struggle to redefine the meaning of Pakistan.

Why America Fights : Patriotism And War Propaganda From The Philippines To Iraq

  • Why America Fights : Patriotism And War Propaganda From The Philippines To Iraq

  • Attribution

    Susan A. Brewer

  • Publication Details

    Book, Oxford University Press, 2009

  • Description

    In World War II, Roosevelt’s Office of War Information avowed a “strategy of truth,” though government propaganda still depicted Japanese soldiers as buck-toothed savages. After examining the ultimately failed struggle to cast the Vietnam War in a favorable light, Brewer shows how the Bush White House drew explicit lessons from that history as it engaged in an unprecedented effort to sell a preemptive war in Iraq.

Guardians Of The Revolution : Iran And The World In The Age Of The Ayatollahs

  • Guardians Of The Revolution : Iran And The World In The Age Of The Ayatollahs

  • Attribution

    Ray Takeyh

  • Publication Details

    Book, Oxford University Press, 2009

  • Description

    Tracing the course of Iranian policy since the 1979 revolution, Takeyh identifies four distinct periods: the revolutionary era of the 1980s, the tempered gradualism following the death of Khomeini and the end of the Iran-Iraq war in 1989, the “reformist” period from 1997-2005 under President Khatami, and the shift toward confrontation and radicalism since the election of President Ahmadinejad in 2005. Takeyh shows that three powerful forces–Islamism, pragmatism, and great power pretensions–have competed in each of these periods, and that Iran’s often paradoxical policies are in reality a series of compromises between the hardliners and the moderates, often with wild oscillations between pragmatism and ideological dogmatism.
