It examines the threat perception and policies of two Arab, Muslim majority states, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, in response to the rise and activities of two revolutionary 'Islamic states', established in Iran (1979) and Sudan (1989). The book has significant implications for international relations theory, including religion and international affairs, and engages important debates in comparative politics about authoritarianism and Islamic activism. 0aIslam and politicszMiddle East. 0aNational securityzMiddle East. 4aIslam y políticazMedio Oriente. 4aSeguridad nacionalzMedio Oriente. 4aEgiptoxPolítica y gobiernoy1981- 4aArabia SauditaxPolítica y gobiernoy1982- 0aEgyptxPolitics and governmenty1981- 0aSaudi ArabiaxPolitics and governmenty1982- 0aIranxForeign public opinion, Arab. 0aSudanxForeign public opinion, Arab. 0aMiddle EastxForeign relationsy1979- 0aMiddle EastxPolitics and governmenty1979- 0aThreat (Psychology)xPolitical aspectszMiddle East. 0aInternational relationsxPsychological aspects.
