Conclusion: What's Next?.This book argues that Islam has been securitized in US foreign policy, especially during the W. Bush administration when it was increasingly portrayed as the ultimate “other.” This securitization was realized through the association of Islam with unique security threats in speeches of foreign policy and national security. By analyzing the four recent US presidents’ discourses on Islam, this work sheds light on how they viewed Islam and addresses the following questions: How do we talk about Islam, its place and relationship within the context of US security? How does the language we use to describe Islam influence the way we imagine it? How is Islam constructed as a security issue? Erdoan A. Shipoli is Visiting Scholar at the Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding at Georgetown University, USA. He is also a social entrepreneur and has established numerous international organizations to advance dialogue, leadership, and youth development.Security, InternationalReligion and politicsInternational relationsUnited States—Politics and governmentPolitical communicationInternational Security Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912120Politics and Religionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911250Foreign Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912040US Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911180Political Communicationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911030International Relations Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912110Security, International.Religion and politics.International relations.United States—Politics and government.Political communication.International Security Studies.Politics and Religion.Foreign Policy.US Politics.Political Communication.International Relations Theory.297.0973Shipoli Erdoan Aauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut991273BOOK9910300502603321Islam, Securitization, and US Foreign Policy2268350UNINA
