Summary Biographical note: Michael Butter, University of Freiburg, Germany; Maurus Reinkowski, University of Basel, Switzerland.
So far most scholars have studied conspiracy theories within national frameworks only. Focusing on the United States and the Middle East, two regions entangled in multiple ways, this book draws attention to the fact that conspiracist visions are transnational narratives that travel between and connect different cultures.
