Book Review~ The Islamic Movement in Egypt: Perceptions of International Relations 1967-81 By Walid M.
In so doing, the author logically raises the question of the universalism of Islam and the particularism of Egyptian nationalist foreign policy perceptions.
The book begins with a historical treatment of the Islamic perception of international relations from the foreign policy of the Prophet Muhammad to the formulations of al-Afghani, 'Abduh, and Ri(ja.
The Ikhwan had less concern with the Shi'ism of the Iranian revolution than did the remaining more extreme groups in Egypt.
In general, the Egyptian Muslim organizational point of view of foreign policy naturally responded to international forces.
An important question largely undeveloped is that of the relationship of Egyptian foreign policy objectives to those of Islamism.
