The debates on Islam and modernity clearly include in their
analysis notions of the State. Abdelillah Belkeziz here charts the
development of the concept of 'the state' (al-dawlah) in Islamic
discourse over the last two centuries. The result is a tour de
force survey of the most influential Muslim thinkers of the modern
era, which encompasses three successive waves: the modernist trends
of the early and later reformers like Sayyed Jamal Eddin
Al-Afghani; the dogmatism of ideologues like Hasan Al-Bana; and the
rhetoric of revivalists like the Ayatollah Khomeini. Through this
analysis, Belkeziz argues that modern Islamic political thought
succeeded in producing ideologies, but ultimately failed to produce
a unified theory of state. This work is an essential encyclopedic
resource for all scholars and researchers of Political Islam and
will become a standard work in the field.
