The US Global War on Terror and earlier US counterterrorism efforts
prompted a variety of responses from Muslim states despite
widespread Islamic opposition. Some cooperated extensively, some
balked at US policy priorities, and others vacillated between these
extremes. This book explains how differing religion-state
relationships, regimes' political calculations, and Islamic
politics combined to produce patterns of tensions and cooperation
between the United States and Muslim states over counterterrorism,
using rigorous quantitative analysis and case studies of Pakistan,
the United Arab Emirates, and Turkey. The book combines recent
advances in the study of political institutions with work on
religion and politics to advance a novel theory of religion and
international relations that will be of value to anyone studying
religion, terrorism, or Islamic politics. It also provides numerous
insights into current events in the Middle East by extending its
analysis to the Arab Spring and the rise of the Islamic State.
