Abstract
This chapter looks at policy and administrative approaches in resolving issues of terrorism in the Middle East through sound governance. The chapter examines the social, economic, and political causes of terrorism in the Middle East; the rise of political Islam; and the variations in such a movement in manipulating regional and global interests/conflicts toward advancing their own agenda. In doing so, the chapter addresses policy and administrative challenges in the Middle East and best scenarios in addressing the cause of terrorism as a function of public policy and administration.
