Engaging the Muslim World
USIP's Daniel Brumberg joined a panel of guest speakers, including Congressman Keith Ellison, for a lively discussion of USIP's new volume "Conflict, Identity, and Reform in the Muslim World."
As the U.S. and its Western allies look beyond a decade of estrangement with a Muslim world increasingly fragmented by its own domestic and regional conflicts, the impetus for dialogue with both friends and foes has grown in concert with the benefit and risks associated with a sustained strategy of engagement. What are the obstacles to and opportunities for creating new avenues of U.S.-Muslim world engagement and cooperation? Are the barriers and openings rooted in a long enduring cultural or religious divide? Or are they of more recent ideological and political vintage and thus susceptible to a dynamic of political, legal, or institutional engineering, a dynamic that might eventually navigate beyond--or even transform--the supposed impediments of culture or religion?
USIP's Daniel Brumberg joined a panel of guest speakers for a lively discussion on these questions, which are the focus of USIP's new volume "Conflict, Identity, and Reform in the Muslim World," edited by Daniel Brumberg and Dina Shehata.
