Americaphobia in the Islamic World: Theoretical Foundation and the Trend of Development

The Americaphobic tendency in the Islamic countries is one of the most important currents، which has impacted the trend of regional developments in recent decades and particularly since the Islamic Revolution of Iran in 1979. In this regard، it should be noted that the end of the Cold War and September 11 attacks have had a key role in highlighting and strengthening the theoretical and practical aspects of this phenomenon. Thus، if security is ensured on the borders of a given state with other states and also within the state itself، then it becomes possible to provide the necessary security in other areas as well and to enhance the economic، political، and socio-cultural power of the country. With this equation in mind، the military power of a country derives from three factors: Physical elements of combat power or tangible elements، non-physical elements of combat power or intangible elements، and privileging elements of combat power. This primary aim of this article is to explain the theoretical components of non-physical factors impacting the combat power of military forces، which involves considering the training، educational، and professional needs of the people who work in military environments.
