Conspiracy theory and American foreign policy examines the
relationship between secrecy, power and interpretation around
international controversy, where foreign policy orthodoxy comes up
hard against alternative interpretations. It does so in the context
of US foreign policy during the War on Terror, a conflict that was
covert and conspiratorial to its core. Offering a new dimension to
debates on post-truth politics, this book critically examines the
'Arab-Muslim paranoia narrative': the view that Arab-Muslim
resentment towards America is motivated to some degree by a
paranoid perception of American power in the Middle East. This
narrative is traced from its roots in a post-War liberal
understanding of populism through to foreign policy debates about
the origins of 9/11, to the strategic heart of the Bush
Administration's War of Ideas. Balancing conceptual innovation with
detailed case analysis, Aistrope provides a window into the
ideological commitments of the US War on Terror. Offering a
fascinating insight into conspiracy and paranoia, this book is
essential reading for those interested in the relationship between
secrecy, power, and contemporary politics. -- .
