About the Book "Engaging The Other: Public Policy and Western-Muslim Intersection":

Western and Muslim civilizations have demonstrated a vast capacity for collaborative relationships in the past and the present. But this long record has not prevented a contemporary escalation of the Western-Muslim “clash of ignorance”. Much of the interaction between the two sides is characterized by a mutual lack of awareness of the vital role that each played in shaping the other. This timely book appears as policymakers search for approaches that go beyond securitization and militarization.
