Preview Bureaucratizing Islam: Morocco and the War on Terror
Bureaucratizing Islam How have states in the Middle East and North Africa responded to the War on Terror? While much scholarship has focused on terrorism in the region, there is a need for critical studies of Middle Eastern states’ counterterrorismpolicies.Thisbookaddressesthatneedbyinvestigating Morocco’s approach to counterterrorism: the bureaucratization of reli- gion. Morocco’s strategy is unique in the degree to which it relies on reformsthatseektomakethecountry’sreligiousinstitutionsintotoolsfor spreadingthecountry’s“moderate”interpretationofIslamandrewarding loyaltyanddiscouragingdissentfromreligiouselites.Withthesemeasures they have limited opposition through an enduring form of institutional control,accommodatingsomeofthecountry’smostvirulentcritics.This bookwillbeofgreatusetoresearchersandscholarsofMiddleEasternpol- itics,and it will also appeal to those policy makers interested in security studiesandcounterterrorismpolicies. ann marie wainscott is Assistant Professor of Political Science at Miami University.
