This document discusses key aspects of Islam including its beliefs, principles, and growth as the second largest religion in the world. It outlines that Islam means "surrender to the one god, Allah" and is conveyed through the Quran and teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. Additionally, it explores how Islam impacts business through examples like Mecca Cola, an Islamic alternative to Western soft drinks, and how the Hajj pilgrimage generates billions for Saudi Arabia's private sector and jobs.
1) Human communities will always be at risk from natural and human-made disasters due to factors like geography and technology that can enable threats. 2) Major cities like New York and New Orleans are especially vulnerable due to their locations and infrastructure. 3) Rapid urbanization and population growth will exacerbate risks in the coming decades as more people and structures are exposed to hazards.

Trump to offer Taipei to Beijing ‘on silver platter’ - Mehr News AgencyRobert R. Bianchi
1) Professor Robert Bianchi believes that Trump's phone call with Taiwan signals his willingness to offer Taiwan to China "on a silver platter" in exchange for economic rewards from China.
2) Bianchi argues that if Trump uses economic leverage against China in a way that threatens their security, it will embolden hardliners in Beijing who may conclude that the US is preparing for war, not negotiations.
3) Bianchi asserts that Rex Tillerson's nomination as Secretary of State shows that Trump views Europe as expendable as Taiwan, and will surrender Europe to Russian influence from the start.

A professor from Shanghai International Studies University argues that Iran is one of a handful of countries vital to the success of China's "One Belt, One Road" initiative to revive the ancient Silk Road. Due to its geographic position between China and Europe, large market, natural resources, and regional influence, Iran plays an important role along with Turkey and Pakistan. The professor also notes that while European Union leaders have concerns about China's growing influence challenging EU unity, individual European countries still seek opportunities for economic partnerships through Chinese-funded infrastructure projects along the new Silk Road.

Russia's intervention in Syria has forced Turkey and Israel to reconsider their diplomatic alliances and cooperate more in order to retain influence over international negotiations on Syria, Kurdish territories, and Palestine. Both countries fear being marginalized in a new balance of power between the U.S., Russia, and Iran. Specifically, Israel wants Russia to replace France as the leader of new peace talks on Palestine, believing the talks are more likely to fail under U.S. opposition. Turkey is worried that Russia and the U.S. will promise Kurdish groups statehood in exchange for military assistance. Domestically, Turkey's reconciliation policies have little support and could provoke over-reaction that further destabilizes the country.
This document provides an analysis of Egypt's 2011-2012 parliamentary elections following the 2011 revolution. It summarizes that:
1) The elections deepened the revolution by further exposing Egypt's social and political divisions through the democratic process.
2) The Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) emerged as the dominant nationwide party, while other major parties like the Salafist Nur Party and secular Wafd and Egyptian Block parties dominated more regionally.
3) The FJP acted as a firewall against both the remnants of the former ruling party and Islamic radicals, tacitly aligning with liberal secular parties against common threats. However, other parties remained divided along social, economic, and religious
Robert Bianchi discusses several challenges that China may face with its Belt and Road Initiative. There will be conflicts between great powers, within benefiting societies, and within China itself that require constant negotiations over power and resource sharing. As projects expand abroad, China will face more criticism from labor, environmental, and business groups that could impact domestic stability. To ease tensions, China, the West, and Islamic countries will need to negotiate sharing benefits and resources from projects more fairly. This could help address the roots of many conflicts over natural resources.
Islamic Globalization and Its Role in China's FutureRobert R. Bianchi
This document discusses Islamic Globalization and its role in China's future. It describes Islamic Globalization as a combination of religious, economic, political, and diplomatic advances that are transforming the Muslim world. These include the hajj and religious travel, capitalism and Islamic finance, democracy and Islamic modernism, as well as new international regimes. The document argues that Islamic Globalization allows modern Muslims to join the mainstream of international life while reforming it, and that these goals are also pursued by China.
The document summarizes voting patterns and political alliances during Egypt's transition to democracy following the 2011 overthrow of Hosni Mubarak. It finds that:
1) Voting was consistently dominated by the Freedom and Justice Party, rooted in provincial towns and villages, particularly in Upper Egypt.
2) An opposition coalition formed including old regime figures, local elites, and Christian groups centered in wealthier Cairo districts.
3) Presidential elections in 2012 saw Muhammad Mursi and the Freedom and Justice Party come to power with different voter support than earlier parliamentary elections, deepening political polarization.
The document provides an analysis of Egypt's 2011-2012 parliamentary elections following the 2011 revolution. It summarizes that:
1) The elections deepened the revolution by further unleashing social and political changes across Egypt as voters from all perspectives showed sophistication in using their newfound political power.
2) The Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) dominated nationally, while the Salafist Nur Party enjoyed strong regional support. Major parties were united in opposition to Nur and remnants of the former ruling party.
3) The FJP was highly successful in individual district races, winning around 80% of contests, especially against secular parties and Nur which it defeated in around three-fourths of their
The Hajj and Politics in Contemporary Turkey and IndonesiaRobert R. Bianchi
This document discusses how politics influences the Hajj pilgrimage in Turkey and Indonesia. It notes that both countries have large Muslim populations and have helped expand the modern Hajj. However, their political systems differ - Turkey has a dominant Islamic party while Indonesia has weak parties with ambiguous religious positions. This affects how Hajj quotas are distributed. In Turkey, participation rates have remained stable by region and correlate with support for Islamic parties. In Indonesia, rates have shifted dramatically between regions as democratic reforms took hold after Suharto. Political factors thus strongly shape each country's Hajj patterns.
China-Middle East Relations in Light of Obama's Pivot to the PacificRobert R. Bianchi
This document summarizes China's growing relations with the Middle East and how those relations are impacted by the US "pivot" to Asia under Obama. It discusses how China views the Middle East as strategically important for trade and security. It also analyzes how the US is concerned about China's expanding influence in the region and broader Eurasia. The US "pivot" aims to counter China's influence, but may be misguided as many countries need China more economically. The document explores China's historical narratives around the Mongol Empire and Admiral Zheng He that portray peaceful expansion. It also discusses how China now strongly supports Islam within its borders through religious freedom and economic opportunities for Muslims.
The document discusses various forms of religious travel in Islam, including the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, visits to holy sites, study at religious schools, and missionary work. It describes how religious travel helps connect Muslims around the world, fostering both a universal Islamic identity and regional identities. Key cities like Konya, Yogyakarta, Kano, and Kashgar are discussed as important hubs for religious travel that blend spiritual and worldly activities and link their regions to Mecca.
Silk Roads and Great Games: Prelude to Global Governance or Great Power Confl...Robert R. Bianchi
This document discusses China's efforts to build infrastructure projects across Eurasia, Africa, and other regions to increase economic integration. It notes this could increase vulnerability to disruptions but also bring political conflicts between major powers competing for influence. While China seeks to integrate regions, the US aims to contain China's rise by segmenting regions. However, emerging networks depend on lands populated by Muslims, and citizens in Muslim countries expect development projects to improve their lives rather than just major power interests.
