Three kinds of challenges are taken into consideration by the contributors: first, Arab political and institutional concerns on which western political responses have to be based; second, economic and social challenges; and third, the military dimension of security in the area and the low-level terrorist violence. Though the risks springing from Islam, terrorism and military factors are pointed out by the authors, they emphasise the necessity to reinforce economic and social co-operation and provide international relations in the area with some degree of framework and political co-operation. |

| Publisher Description: Contributions to this book question the concept of the clash of cultures. The challenge to the West does not lie in the monolith of Islam turning aggressively outward to Europe and the US, but in the rivalries between regimes ruling over societies divided by an imbalance in wealth and power. |
