Description: On June 4th, President Obama will deliver his long-anticipated speech in Cairo, which is expected to convey a reconciliatory message to Arabs and Muslims across the world. As both the US and the EU are trying to reset their policies in the Middle East, the challenge of how to deal with the most important emerging actors in the region - Islamists - remains a matter of great controversy. In this book, Arab and European authors ask whether the EU's current policies are contributing to the radicalization of Islamist movements in the Middle East and North Africa, and argue in favor of an EU policy based on inclusion--Publisher's description.
