Recalibrating The War On Terror By Enhancing Development Practices In The Middle East, Kevin J. Fandl
Recalibrating The War On Terror By Enhancing Development Practices In The Middle East, Kevin J. Fandl
ExpressO
This research paper suggests that the cart has been placed before the horse, that democratization and open markets in the Middle East are more likely the result of effective development than the catalyst for it.

In terms of new world order, institution building by necessity requires fundamental changes in governmental structures in non-western cultures and nation-states such as China, Afghanistan and Iraq. Such changes are being prompted by means of political, economic and military powers …
