It examines the threat perception and policies of two Arab Muslim majority states, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, in response to the rise and activities of two revolutionary "Islamic states," established in Iran (1979) and Sudan (1989). Using these comparative case studies, the book provides important insight about the role of religious ideology for the international and domestic politics of the Middle East and, in doing so, advances our understanding of how, why, and when ideology affects threat perception and state policy. Rubin makes clear that transnational ideologies may present a greater and more immediate national security threat than shifts in the military balance of power: first because ideology, or ideational power, triggers threat perception and affects state policy; second because states engage in ideational balancing in response to an ideological threat. The book has significant implications for international relations theory and engages important debates in comparative politics about authoritarianism and Islamic activism. Its findings about how an Islamist regime or state behaves will provide vital insight for policy creation by the US and its Middle East allies should another such regime or state emerge. 606 $aIslam and politics$zMiddle East 606 $aNational security$zMiddle East 606 $aThreat (Psychology)$xPolitical aspects$zMiddle East 606 $aInternational relations$xPsychological aspects 607 $aEgypt$xPolitics and government$y1981-2011 607 $aSaudi Arabia$xPolitics and government$y1982- 607 $aIran$xForeign public opinion, Arab 607 $aSudan$xForeign public opinion, Arab 607 $aMiddle East$xForeign relations$y1979- 607 $aMiddle East$xPolitics and government$y1979- 615 0$aIslam and politics 615 0$aNational security 615 0$aThreat (Psychology)$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aInternational relations$xPsychological aspects. 676 $a320.55/70956 700 $aRubin$b Lawrence$f1973-$01610083 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827888303321 996 $aIslam in the balance$93937662 997 $aUNINA
