Preventing the spread of weapons of mass destruction has been an important policy priority in the past decades. This dissertation questions the prevailing view that chemical and biological weapons (CBWs) are a ‘poor man’s atomic bomb’ that are particularly attractive to ‘developing countries’ that cannot acquire nuclear weapons. The study shows that vague, unverifiable, and inflated threat assessments from US government sources have played an important role in sustaining this myth. A unique dataset of CBW development programs in the period 1946-2010 demonstrates that significantly fewer countries have had CBW programs than often thought and that especially ‘Third World’ countries have been incorrectly accused of pursuing or possessing CBWs.

This is a 422 pages edited volume, prepared by a group of prominent scholars from US, UK, Malaysia, UAE and Lebanon. It discusses the domestic settings of American foreign policy and analyzes its impact on issues considered vital to the Muslim world; adhering to the strict academic standards and measures. The first part of this book explains the complex foreign policy making system in the United states and assesses the role of Christian evangelicalism, neoconservatism, the media the pro- Israel lobby and the role of Muslim groups. The second part of the book discusses the characteristics of the American foreign policy. It presents a historical analysis of the most important issues that had an immense impact on the American foreign policy. It also analyses the impact of the US political economy on its foreign policy; and asserts the need for a paradigm shift in American foreign policy. The third part of the book provides an in-depth analysis of American policy towards the most sensitive issues in the Islamic World: the Palestinian cause, Iraq invasion and occupation, Iran’s nuclear issue and Afghanistan. It also discusses the president Obama’s foreign policy. The importance of this study is that it analyzes American foreign policy from the view of scholars who are mostly from the Islamic world, yet they well know the US closely through their academic background, or by living and studying and teaching there. Thus they present their objective view as they see it rather than presenting the views of American think tanks. It is a must read book for those interested in understanding American foreign policy toward the Muslim world, and specialists, and students of Political Science, and International Relations.
