What the West Is Getting Wrong about the Middle East: Why Islam Is Not the Problem
內容簡介
西方在中東的行動始於一個根本性的誤解：人們反覆假設「政治化伊斯蘭」是該地區衝突與動盪的主因。認為只要閱讀《古蘭經》就能解讀聖戰組織的激進化或中東問題，這已成為我們時代的典型病徵。這種危險的過度簡化，以及西方對伊斯蘭教的過度痴迷，主導了媒體與政策分析，最終導致干預行動的偏頗，並阻礙了該地區的長期解決方案與穩定。
擁有 20 年研究與決策經驗的歐莫·塔斯皮納（Ömer Taspinar），在此解釋了中東局勢的真相。本書基於目前最受關注的三個緊迫案例：艾爾段（Erdogan）的角色與土耳其的動盪；伊拉克、敘利亞、葉門與黎巴嫩的教派衝突；以及所謂「伊斯蘭國」（IS）的存在。伊斯蘭教常被視為這些挑戰的根源，但透過解析真正的問題——如根深蒂固的威權主義、龐大的能源資源、過度的國防支出以及人口結構中的「青年膨脹（youth bulge）」——本書揭開了迷霧，指出治理能力與民族主義才是衝突的主要驅動力。
本書論證了在評估中東局勢時，「治本」優於「治標」的重要性——真正的「本」是經濟、社會與制度性因素，而伊斯蘭政黨與聖戰運動的持續壯大僅是「標」。透過揭示伊斯蘭主義如何被啟動，並分析該地區的結構性挑戰，這份獨特的內行人報告為理解中東戰爭、衝突及未來前景提供了一份導航地圖。
The West’s actions in the Middle East are based on a fundamental misunderstanding: political Islam is repeatedly assumed to be the main cause of conflict and unrest in the region. The idea that we can decipher Jihadist radicalization or problems in the Middle East simply by reading the Qur’an has now become symptomatic of our age. This dangerous over-simplification and the West’s obsession with Islam dominates media and policy analysis, ultimately skewing intervention and preventing long-term solutions and stability in the region.
Ömer Taspinar, who has 20 years’ research and policymaking experience, explains here what is really going on in the Middle East. The book is based on three of the most pressing cases currently under the spotlight: the role of Erdogan and the unrest in Turkey; the sectarian clashes in Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Lebanon; and the existence of the so-called Islamic State. Islam is often seen as the root cause of the challenge associated with these cases. But by unpacking the real issues, such as entrenched authoritarianism, vast energy resources, excessive defense spending, and the youth bulge, the book demystifies what is happening and cites governance and nationalism as the main drivers of conflict. The book shows the importance of treating the causes – which are economic, social and institutional – rather than the symptom – the continued and growing success of Islamist parties and jihadist movements in assessing the Middle East. In revealing exactly how Islamism is activated and by analyzing the structural challenges of the region, this unique insider’s account provides a map to understanding Middle Eastern wars and conflicts and the prospects for the future.

各界推薦
Prof. Taspinar has produced a worthy addition to what should be a growing body of work on the issue in question. --The Muslim World Book Review
The Middle East remains at once a concern and an enigma for many in the West. Its problems have been readily blamed on Islam, all the more so as extremist groups have targeted Western interests. In this highly readable and well-argued book Omer Taspinar lays bare the fundamental truth about the Middle East, that its problems and threats have their origins not in religion but in politics. This book is an important corrective for policy-makers and all those interested in the Middle East. --Vali Nasr, Professor Middle East Affairs, School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University; author of The Dispensable Nation: American Foreign Policy in Retreat
