“Islamism and the Middle East: Trump 45 vs. Biden”
with Kenneth Abramowitz

Monday, December 30, 2024
1:00PM Eastern Time

Contrasting approaches of recent U.S. administrations toward Islamism and the Middle East (think Iran and Hamas) express more than divides in policy; they reveal contrasting mentalities. These might be summarized as confrontation vs. cooption. What shapes opposing philosophical approaches? What are their practical implications? Are there differences over time?
