Bringing together canonical and the best cutting-edge scholarship
in one useful reference resource, the shortcomings as well as the
successes of Islamism are fully examined in this three volume
collection of seventy-five key journal articles on all aspects of
modern political Islamism. 'Political Islam' here means political
movements which argue that the state must be based on their
interpretation of Islamic law, viewing this as an alternative to
Arab nationalist, traditional monarchist, or semi-secular
democratic states. Such movements may seek power through violence
or elections. They also usually set up their own educational,
social service, and cultural institutions to influence individuals
and the society at large. This work is organized into sections
discussing the origins and world view of political Islam and its
relationship with the issues of terrorism and democracy. The
collection also includes a number of case studies that examine the
ideas, strategy, tactics, leadership, and opposition to the
movement both in the Middle East and in other parts of the world.
