Stacey Gutkowski explores this little-examined, yet crucial, element of British perceptions of and policy towards Jihadism over the last decade, to draw critical conclusions about the relationship between war and the secular. She points to a surprisingly coherent body of secular beliefs that have fuelled policies in Iraq, Afghanistan and counter-terrorism, and that have had mixed results - responsible for both positive strategies and tragic errors. The theory Gutkowski develops on the impact of this secular approach to warfare holds a broader global significance, and cannot be viewed as just a British phenomenon. This book addresses ongoing and critical debates, such as the 'overreach' of Western liberal interventionism in the Middle East, and speaks to policy-makers, security analysts and students of IR, Foreign Policy and Security Studies."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aJihad 606 $aSecularism 606 $aWar$xCauses 606 $aMiddle Eastern history$2BIC 607 $aIslamic countries$xRelations$zWestern countries 607 $aMiddle East$xRelations$zWestern countries 607 $aWestern countries$xRelations$zIslamic countries 607 $aWestern countries$xRelations$zMiddle East 615 0$aJihad. 615 0$aSecularism. 615 0$aWar$xCauses. 615 7$aMiddle Eastern history. 676 $a956.014 676 $a303.6 700 $aGutkowski$b Stacey$01264384 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154896703321 996 $aSecular war$92964297 997 $aUNINA
