Sectarianism in the Middle East: Implications for the United States

by David E. Thaler, Heather M. Robinson, Ben Connable

Many view unrest in the Middle East through the lens of religious sectarianism, focusing on the Sunni-Shi'a split. The authors analyze sectarianism in the region, evaluate other factors that fan the flames of violent conflict, and suggest a different interpretation of both identity and the nature of regional unrest.
