• TERROR AND LIBERALISM

    A manifesto for an aggressive liberal response to terrorist attacks. One of our most brilliant public intellectuals, Paul Berman has spent his career writing on revolutionary movements and their totalitarian aspects. Here he argues that, in the terror war, we are not facing a battle of the West against Islam—a clash of civilizations. We are facing, instead, the same battle that tore apart Europe during most of the twentieth century, only in a new version. It is the clash of liberalism and its enemies—the battle between freedom and totalitarianism that arose in Europe many years ago and spread to the Muslim world. The author considers the wars against fascism and communism from the past, and draws cautionary lessons. But he also draws from those past experiences a liberal program for the present—a program that departs in fundamental respects from the policies of the Bush administration.

  • MILITANT ISLAM REACHES AMERICA

    Unnoticed by most Westerners,” Daniel Pipes wrote in 1995, referring to militant Islam, “war has been unilaterally declared on Europe and the United States.” Pipes, director of the Philadelphia-based Middle East Forum, was one of very few Americans to understand the significance of what to many appeared to be no more than isolated cases of violence. Long before September II, 2001, he publicly warned Americans that militant Islam had gone to war against America. Now Americans are listening to him.

    Pipe presents here the results of his research, dividing his work into two key subjects. First, he explains what militant Islam is and stresses the large and crucial difference between Islam, the faith, and militant Islam, the ideology. He demonstrates that it is not a clash of civilizations under way, but a battle for the soul of Islam among Muslims themselves. He shows that militant Islam is not caused mainly by poverty and that its adherents, far from being the dispossessed, tend to include the more talented and Westernized elements. Militant Islam strikingly has much in common with fascism and communism. Pipes also demonstrates how, at variance with our traditional separation of church and state, high officials of both the Democratic and Republican parties have had the effect of endorsing Islam.

  • THE SPREAD OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS

    If the nuclear balance of terror helped maintain the ‘long peace’ between t he united States and the Soviet Union during the Cold Ware, will the spread of nuclear weapons to new states also help stabilize international relations in the future? In this increasingly complex world, how do issues such as global terrorism, missile defence, and the Indian-Pakistani conflict facto r into the decisions states make about nuclear weapons? In The Spread of Nuclear Weapons: A Debate Renewed, two major international relations scholars resume their well-known dialogue about these important questions, as well as others. Kenneth Waltz, the dean of realist theory in international relations, expands on his argument that “more may be better,” contending that new nuclear states will use their acquired nuclear capabilities to deter threats and preserve peace. Scott Sagan, the leading proponent of organizational theories in international politics, continues to make the counterpoint that “more will be worse”: novice nuclear states lack adequate organizational controls over their new weapons, which makes for a high risk of either deliberate of accidental nuclear war.
