Organised crime is now a major threat to all industrial and

of the threat and on the reality of organized crime.

Why Did the US
Invade Iraq?
Edited by Jane K. Cramer, University of Oregon,
USA and A. Trevor Thrall, University of Michigan,
Dearborn, USA
Series: Routledge Global Security Studies
This volume presents the best scholarly thinking about
why the US invaded Iraq in 2003, a pivotal event in
modern US foreign policy and international politics.
The years since the announcement of the invasion of
Iraq by George W. Bush in 2003 have revealed that the
WMD threat was not the urgent threat the
administration declared and that Saddam Hussein was
not involved with Al Qaeda or 9/11. At least in part
because of these revelations a majority of Americans
(not to mention a majority of people globally) now
believe that invading Iraq was a mistake and that the
Bush administration misled the public to build support
for war. Lending credibility to public doubts is a growing
number of critical scholarly analyses and in-depth
journalistic investigations about the invasion, which
mostly suggests that the administration was not fully
candid about its reasons for wanting to move against
Iraq when it did.
Thus the question remains: Why did the United States
invade Iraq? The central purpose of this volume is to
spur and inform the debate by organizing the best
recent thinking of foreign policy and international
relations experts about why the US invaded Iraq. Taking
a broad range of arguments – about the role of ideas,
Israel, and oil, in particular – and organizing them
around a coherent structure, the book highlights current
areas of agreement and disagreement, and allows
scholars directly to talk to each other.
The volume will be of much interest to students of the
Iraq War, US foreign and security policy, strategic studies,
Middle Eastern politics and IR/Security Studies in general.

Explaining Pakistan’s
Foreign Policy
Escaping India
Aparna Pande, Hudson Institute, USA
Series: Routledge Contemporary South Asia Series
Pakistan has over the decades become a hotbed for the
terrorist ideology often referred to as Jihadism. Pande
investigates the underlying principles of Pakistan’s
foreign policy from 1947 until the present day and
explains the rise of Jihadism as an offshoot of Pakistan’s
security concerns. In the eyes of Pakistan’s policy makers,
Pakistan’s interests lay in ‘containing’ India, ‘seeking
parity’ with India in military and political terms, ‘gaining’
allies against India and ‘escaping’ an Indian identity by
disowning shared heritage. Pakistan’s policies towards
India, Afghanistan, United States, China and the Muslim
world reflect various aspects of this very construct.
Selected Contents: 1. Constructing Political Identity
2. Existential Threat 3. Strategic Depth 4. An Alliance
to Ensure Survival 5. All Weather Friendship 6. Virtual
Relocation 7. Pragmatic Bilateralism
