Wahhabism and the World constitutes one of the few, if not the first comprehensive, impassionate interrogations of the impact on Islam of Saudi financial and other support for the global spread of what Peter Mandaville calls Saudi religious transnationalism and is more colloquially referred to with catchall phrases such as Saudi funding or support for ultra-conservatism. Mr. Mandaville's volume with chapters that provide fresh insights into the Saudi export drive and a set of case studies illustrates that the reality of the campaign is far more complex and layered.

Saudi global export of an ultra-conservative strand of Islam and its impact on Muslim countries and communities across the globe has been a hotly debate topic for more than two decades. The rise of jihadist groups like Al Qaeda and the Islamic State and their attacks in the United States, Europe, Asia, and Africa fuelled the debate, particularly since the September 11, 2001, strikes in New York and Washington. Critics of Saudi Arabia charge that Wahhabism and Salafism, the ultra-conservative interpretations of Islam associated with the kingdom, created the theological and ideological incubator and the breeding ground for jihadism. Wahhabism and the World, Understanding Saudi Arabia's Global Influence on Islam (Oxford UP, 2022) edited by Peter Mandaville constitutes one of the few, if not the first comprehensive, impassionate interrogations of the impact on the faith of Saudi financial and other support for the global spread of what Mandaville calls Saudi religious transnationalism and is more colloquially referred to with catchall phrases such as Saudi funding or support for ultra-conservatism. Mandaville's volume with chapters that provide fresh insights into the Saudi export drive and a set of case studies illustrates that the reality of the campaign is far more complex and layered. Interest in Saudi religious influence goes far beyond Middle East and Islam scholars and policymakers, journalists, and analysts, particularly given the dramatic social change in Saudi Arabia since King Salam ascended to the throne in 2015, and his son, Mohammed bin Salman, became the country's effective ruler. However, social liberalization, including enhanced professional and personal opportunity for women and the creation of a Western-influenced entertainment sector has much to do with socio-political factors and little, if anything, to do with religious reform. As a result, understanding Saudi Islam and the impact of its export that outlives the Salmans' steep cutbacks in the funding of its global propagation coupled with their effort to alter its austere and puritan image and give it a more moderate, tolerant and outward-looking makeover remains key to understanding the geopolitics of the Middle East and the broader Muslim world.

How do you effectively spend billions of dollars of taxpayer's money to help fight global poverty? And how do you invest for climate resilience and account for the unknown such as the risks of pandemics? We hear from Alicia Phillips Mandaville who is the Vice President of the Department of Policy and Evaluation at The Millennium Challenge Corporation (the MCC) – as she takes as through the MCC's leading-edge thinking on investing for global growth and poverty reduction. The MCC is a bilateral United States foreign aid agency established by the U.S. Congress in 2004. During our conversation Alicia explores how to spend money to fight global poverty – explaining and providing examples of why focusing on a small number of well-governed countries; selecting infrastructure investments; and requiring accountable transparency are three critical factors that determine successful economic growth and poverty reduction. Alicia provides advice on business decision making, investments and policy shifts that could also help. In addition, Alicia looks into the future of impact investing - unpacking why putting people at the heart of climate action and understanding risk is essential to fighting climate change and preparing us all for an uncertain world. Alicia's background and experience spans data-driven tools and qualitative research. She has worked at the intersections of governance, economic development, and technology – for tech start-ups, for NGOs, for the Deputy Secretary of State in the US as well as for the MCC.

As automation improves, what careers will be left for people? Since the advent of technology, there have been concerns about it replacing jobs and leaving people without an income. Technological disruption has often eliminated entire industries. However, new fields of employment have always arisen to replace those, typically focusing more on training and skills, as machines have no minds and little flexibility. While artificial intelligence may one day change that, today we will examine what sort of jobs might be available to people in the future.

The Center for Global Policy’s Director of Strategy and Programs, Dr. Kamran Bokhari, sat down with Prof. Peter Mandaville to discuss the Muslim Brotherhood's many incarnations and how concerns about the group have affected policies and conversations about Islam in the United States. Professor Mandaville, who has worked for the State Department in senior advisory capacities, is a professor of international affairs at George Mason University, a senior research fellow at Georgetown University and a nonresident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. Most people believe either that the Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organization or that it represents Muslim democrats who have rejected violence in favor of politics. However, Prof. Mandaville says, the truth is much more complex and somewhere in between those two polar positions. "Muslim Brotherhood" does not mean any one thing; the original group, founded in Egypt nearly a century ago, has spawned and inspired many other groups and/or political parties across the Middle East and North Africa. Each of those groups tends to have its own agenda. Mandaville argues that there is no simple response to whether the Brotherhood provides a potential path to extremism or serves as a firewall between the impetuosity of frustrated and disenfranchised youths and terrorist activity. Although the Muslim Brotherhood has engaged in violence in the past, broadly the core group is not oriented toward terrorism. In the West, concerns about the Muslim Brotherhood have led to debates about whether the organization is present and, if so, if its motives are nefarious. What Mandaville called the "growing Islamophobia industry in the United States" pushes the agenda that the Brotherhood is using organizations like the Islamic Society of North America and the Council on American-Islamic Relations to bring sharia to the United States. Those organizations say they have nothing to do with the Muslim Brotherhood and simply want to provide services to their members and practice their faith. Once again, Mandaville says neither is the entire truth; some individuals involved in founding these North American organizations did have ties to the Brotherhood or were members. However, when they came to the United States, they came to pursue education or economic opportunities, not to infiltrate and undermine U.S. society. Mandaville says that before 9/11, Muslim immigrants were often called Arab-Americans or immigrants from South Asia. Now, Mandaville says, their "Muslim-ness" is the focus, as if everything about them can be reduced to their religious beliefs. That change is a product of the contemporary climate surrounding discussions of Muslims in the United States.
