Die Umma, die Gemeinschaft der Rechtgläubigen, ist ein zentraler Topos des islamischen Fundamentalismus. Der Verfasser untersucht am Beispiel der im Jahr 1990 in der Sowjetunion gegründeten Partei der Islamischen Wiedergeburt, welche Rolle der Islam als gemeinsames Band heute in Zentralasien spielt. Vor dem Hintergrund des Afghanistankrieges wird die enge Zusammenarbeit zwischen der tadschikischen Landesgruppe der Partei der Islamischen Wiedergeburt und den afghanischen Mujaheddin unmittelbar nach dem Ende des tadschikischen Bürgerkrieges 1992 dargestellt. Der Verfasser zeigt an diesem Beispiel, daß der Islam als gemeinsames Band in Zentralasien tatsächlich über eine identitätsstiftende Macht verfügt, die alternative Identitätspotentiale wie Nationalität oder Ethnizität übertrifft.

Depending on how Trump administration adjusts to the nuclear deal between Iran and the P5+1, the strategic landscape of Iran could either transform dramatically or slide back to pre-deal status quo ante. Traditionally, Iran aspires for a wider regional role to enhance its stature and assume a regional leadership position. As international politics becomes more complex and interlinked, a resurging Iran, reaching to the outer world, has implications for Pakistan. Critically speaking, Pakistan's relations with Iran are unique in the sense that these could neither be described as strategic partnership nor strategic rivalry; rather the relations have been alternating between strong friendship and competition. Thus, it is important to study and extrapolate Iran and Pakistan relations and also how this relationship could serve the long-term interests of each other in the region. The paper juxtaposes Pakistan-Iran relations in the changing regional balance of power. It looks at Pakistan-Iran relations from two angles: history of the bilateral relations; present issues and concerns that could have an impact on the future contours of the relations; and makes plausible policy recommendations for strengthening bilateral ties.

This volume consists of a series of essays that were published in substantially the same form in various scholarly journals in 1957-1960. In them, Schelling attempts to adapt game theory to sociologically relevant aspects of the strategic process not encompassed within the formal mathematics of the theory. Thus his book represents a strikingly original contribution to the literature. In general, the essays share the theme that formal game theory is not a sufficiently good tool for sociological analysis of the bargaining process that takes place in real life. (This contention would not be denied by orthodox game theorists, since they do not regard the provision of such a tool as the purpose of game theory.) Except for this unifying thread, the various aspects of Schelling's analysis do not seem to me to evince a consistent point of view. To press this point, however, would be pedantic, for in The Strategy of Conflict the reader will discover a number of illuminating and penetrating sociological analyses of strategic problems.
