The Clash of Ideas in World Politics by John M Owen
Reveals how the Muslim world is in the throes of an ideological struggle that extends far beyond the Middle East, and how struggles like it have been a recurring feature of international relations since the dawn of the modern European state.
Winner of the 2011 Lepgold Prize, Mortara Center for International Studies, Georgetown University "The historical narratives Owen employs to test this theory are nuanced, illuminating, and a joy to read"--Peter Liberman, Foreign Affairs "Owen provides the most compelling explanatory framework to date for examining forcible regime promotions, supported by a convincing historical narrative that sets the bar high for future works on the subject. More importantly, Owen's book is a welcome contribution providing a timely toolbox for both academics and policy analysts to examine the ongoing events in the Middle East and beyond."--Luca Tardelli, International Affairs "Owen ... makes use of formidable analytical skills to reveal patterns in 209 instances internationally and demonstrate the use of regime promotion as a strategic weapon... Recommended."--Ellen J. Jenkins, Canadian Journal of History "[T]he depth of learning that informs the historical aim of Owen's text is proof of the validity of historical work, regardless of the fact that it does not and cannot enable us to make precise predictions."--Jeff Noonan, European Legacy
John M. Owen IV is associate professor of politics at the University of Virginia.
