In this challenging work, Gilbert Achcar analyzes how this shift came about and examines its fateful consequences.
Achcar'sClash of Barbarismstraces the rise of militant and anti-Western Islamic fundamentalism to its roots in U.S. policies aimed at control of the oil reserves of the Middle East, and above all, Saudi Arabiathe "Muslim Texas." Achcar examines the political premises of Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda and show how these led to the massive miscalculation of the September 11 attacks, with results both politically counterproductive and morally reprehensible.
The major result of this miscalculation has been to complete a shift from the vision of a world order based on international law and respecting the rights of strong and weak nations alike, announced by George Bush, Sr., in 1991, to the world order being created by the administration of George W. Bush today, in which the United States asserts its own power and pursues its interests without regard for law or rights. In this context, we are living through a "clash of barbarisms" indeed.
This important and timely work is already scheduled for publication in French, English, German, Turkish, and Korean. It draws on first-hand knowledge of the Middle East, but looks beyond immediate events to clarify their geopolitical bases.  aUnited States Relations Middle East946635  aSeptember11 Terrorist Attacks946636  aTerrorism Saudi Arabia946637  aPetroleum Industry and trade United States946638  aACHCAR(Gilbert)946639  aDRUCKER (Peter) Tr946640  2ddccGF  c223574d223574  00102ddc40708SOCaALbALd2013-03-23l0o303.48 ACHCpGF01561r2022-07-02 00:00:00w2022-07-02yGF
