Robert J. Pauly, Jr examines the history of US foreign policy
toward the Greater Middle East in general and focuses specifically
on the fundamental economic, military and political causes of the
1990-1991 Persian Gulf crisis. He investigates to what extent these
causes were internal and external in origin, looks at the principal
actors in the crisis, and determines whether and how these actors
have continued to drive unfolding events in the Persian Gulf ever
since. The volume explores in detail the role of American leaders
since 1989, including how far the US should collaborate with Europe
to pursue both American and collective Western economic, military
and political interests in the Gulf. It also considers the
prospects for the future of American-led nation-building operations
in Iraq and the outlook for the eventual liberal democratization of
the Greater Middle East.

In response to the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, the
United States embarked on a dramatic and sustained effort to reform

book offers an examination of the evolution of policy and the
concurrent restructuring of existing agencies, as well as the
creation of new bodies designed to counter the threat of
transnational terrorism. Detailing the historical roots of US
homeland security policy and its evolution in the aftermath of the
9/11 attacks, this book provides a unique overview of the emerging
and existing agencies and bureaux at the national, state and local
levels which are tasked with homeland security. Furthermore, by

In this timely work, Robert J. Pauly, Jr. looks in detail at the
impact of Islam's presence in Europe. He examines five areas of
particular importance: the effect of the growth of Muslim
communities on the demographics of Western Europe generally, and
France, Germany and the United Kingdom in particular; the
consequences of the marginalization of Muslims on domestic and
international security within and outside of Western Europe in the
post-11 September 2001 era; the impact of the issue of Islam in
Europe on the European Union's ongoing deepening and widening
processes; the potential correlation between the increased
visibility of Islam in Europe and the growth of far-right political
parties across the continent; and the broader relationships between
the issues of Islam in Europe, Islam and Europe, and Islam and the
West.
Nation-building enterprises by the United States and the broader
international community have run the gamut of success and failure.
Some have enjoyed overwhelming support and others debilitating
controversy. Some are motivated by national security interests;
others by humanitarian concerns. They have seemingly exploded since
the end of the Cold War but in fact have long been used as a
foreign policy tool. What they all have in common is a substantial
investment of troops, treasure and time. There is no formula for
success-each operation is unique, with lessons to be learned and
trends to be noted. Examining the history of America's experience
in nation-building, this book describes the mechanisms behind what
often appears to be a haphazard enterprise.
