Comparing the Muslim World to Latin America: The Relationship between Economic
Interdependence with the United States and anti-American Sentiment
Samuel J. Barnett
Byram Hills High School Armonk, NY 10504
Abstract
In 2013, the Pew Research Center's Global Attitudes Project estimated that nearly 70% of
adults in Muslim nations held “unfavorable” or “very unfavorable” views of the United
States. This widespread anti-American sentiment in the Muslim world has been accepted
by many to be a reaction to US military, political, and economic policies, all of which
influence day-to-day life in the Muslim world. Looking specifically at US economic
policies that bring foreign nations into globalized and interdependent trade networks, this
study explored the relationship between Muslim nations’ economic interdependence with
the United States and anti-American sentiment in those nations during 2013. It looked
specifically at seven nations throughout the Muslim world to include an array of nations’
sociopolitical situations: Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, the Palestinian territories, Pakistan,
Tunisia, and Turkey. The study correlated anti-American sentiment using 2013 Pew
Research Center data with trade, aid, and labor data from the Organisation for Economic
Cooperation and Development (OECD). Finally, for interregional analysis, the results
were compared to statistically similar data on Latin American attitudes and economics
from a 2013 study by Baker and Cupery. It was found that there was, in fact, a stronger
(and more positive) correlation between economic interdependence and anti-American
sentiment in the Muslim world than there was in Latin America and that the two regions
expressed inverse relationships.
