How do ideologies shape international relations in general and Middle Eastern        countries' relations with the United States in particular? The Clash of Ideologies        by Mark L. Haas explores this critical question. Haas argues that leaders'        ideological beliefs are likely to have profound effects on these individuals'        perceptions of international threats. These threat perceptions, in turn, shape        leaders' core security policies, including choices of allies and enemies and efforts        to spread their ideological principles abroad as a key means of advancing their        interests.Two variables are particularly important in this process: the degree of        ideological differences dividing different groups of decision makers ("e;ideological        distance"e;), and the number of prominent ideologies that are present in a particular        system ("e;ideological polarity"e;). The argument is tested in four case studies of        states' foreign policies, primarily since the end of the Cold War: Iran, Saudi        Arabia, Syria, and Turkey. As the argument predicts, ideological differences in        these cases were a key cause of international conflict and ideological similarities        a source of cooperation. Moreover, different ideological groups in the same country        at the same time often possessed very different understandings of their threat        environments, and thus very different foreign policy preferences. These are findings        that other prominent international relations theories, particularly realism, cannot        explain. Clash of Ideologies goes beyond advancing theoretical debates in the        international relations literature. It also aims to provide policy guidance on key        international security issues. These prescriptions are designed to advance America's        interests in the Middle East in particular, namely how U.S. leaders should best        respond to the ideological dynamics that exist in the region.
