| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines the conflicts with Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran and Kuwait since 1978 in order to clarify how the modern state-form in the region is being undermined through aggressive efforts by US-led multinational coalitions to organise containment structures around Islamic, anti-Western powers, as well as around modernising petro-capitalist regimes, for the benefit of 'stability' in the larger world system. It asks if today's real insurgency is that of fluid Western multinational coalitions, while the true counterinsurgencies are the more fixed fundamentalist, localist and nationalist resistances in the region. It also asks whether weak civilian provisional authorities are displacing during the 21st century those older 19th century models of the strong state mapped out by Max Weber - both in the Middle East and elsewhere

| Summary/Abstract |
Ten years ago this October, the members of the political science community might have heard a short, but quite fascinating, cri de coeur about the prevailing practices of the discipline in the United States at the turn of the century. Circulating as an e-mail message shortly after the 2000 APSA Annual Meeting, it popped up in the inboxes of a few political scientists and graduate students throughout the academy, who then quickly redirected its message to hundreds and then thousands of their colleagues. Signed "Mr. Perestroika," the e-mail's short passages bemoaned the profession of political science as it was unfolding under the allegedly misguided aegis of an "Orwellian system" of methodological formalism. Portraying the discipline as trapped in this intellectual cul de sac, Mr. Perestroika depicted an essentially degraded social science discipline that favored the political views of a "coterie" of "East Coast Brahmins" by ratifying their narrow methodological practices (cited in Monroe 2005, 9-11). Such practices, based mostly on "statistics or game theory," wrongly promoted a simplistic and, for far too many students of the state and society, discredited economic understanding of politics. This unenviable methodological parochialism in turn favored a style of "professional correctness" that froze out other political perspectives and analytical approaches (Luke 1999, 345-63) in the discipline's key journals, major organizations, and scholarly practices. For Mr. Perestroika, these distorted academic norms were also compromising the relevance, utility, and validity of political science as an applied social science.
