"The principal victims of the oil price rises engineered by OPEC during the 1970s were the poorest countries of the Third World. Not only did they have to pay for higher oil prices but they also saw their export earnings suffer because of the economic slump in the industrialised world that was caused partly by OPeC's price increases. Despite these hardships many Third World countries hoped that a new partnership could be created between them and OPEC which would lead to a large influx of OPEC capital into their economies, followed by increased trade and closer economic interaction. Most OPEC member states did feel responsibility towards the Third World and they began to provide considerable sums of money in foreign aid and created a range of new national and international development institutions. They also stimulated the global debate on the reform of the international economic order in the late 1970s. et after almost ten years OPEC's performance in assisting development in the Third World has fallen short of the expectations generated by its early declarations. OPEC and the Third World seeks to explain why the OPEC countries failed to achieve the goals they set for themselves. It focuses principally on the use of foreign aid by the members of OPEC and demonstrates how the divisive elements both within OPEC and between OPEC and the rest of the Third World prevented OPEC from using aid to advance Third World objectives. This in-depth study will be of interest to all those concerned with Third World politics, development assistance, Middle East regional economics and political and security issues." -from the dust jacket

Strategic Developments in Eurasia After 11 September

Presenting the views of leading experts on strategic considerations in Eurasia, this volume shows that the 11 September attacks and subsequent developments have affected the way in which international relations are evaluated. In addition, these developments have turned the concept of asymmetric threats, including large-scale international terrorist attacks, into genuine realistic dangers threatening our security. As a result, the conventional mindset over issues of war and peace, of existing alliances and partnerships, even of the character of the international system has to be re-evaulated. This volume sheds light on the aspects of change that have taken place in the post-11 September evolution of international relations in Eurasia.

Reformist Voices of Islam: Mediating Islam and Modernity

In recent years, Islamic fundamentalist, revolutionary, and jihadist movements have overshadowed more moderate and reformist voices and trends within Islam. This compelling volume introduces the current generation of reformist thinkers and activists, the intellectual traditions they carry on, and the reasons for the failure of reformist movements to sustain broad support in the Islamic world today. Richly detailed regionally focused chapters cover Iran, the Arab East, the Maghreb, South Asia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Turkey, Europe, and North America. The editor's introductory chapter traces the roots of reformist thinking both in Islamic tradition and as a response to the challenge of modernity for Muslims struggling to reconcile the requirements of modernization with their cultural and religious values. The concluding chapter identifies commonalities, comparisons, and trends in the modernizing movements.
