Reaching beyond traditionally politicised scholarship to provide
a unique perspective on the place of religion and culture in global
and local politics, this book examines the impact of Islam on
'civilizational' relations between different groups and
polities.
Bassam Tibi takes a highly original approach to the topic of
religion in world politics, exploring the place of Islam in society
and its frequent distortion in world politics to the more radical
Islamism. Looking at how this becomes an immediate source of
tension and conflict between the secular and the religious, Tibi
rejects the 'clash of civilizations' theory and argues for the
revival of Islamic humanism to help bridge the gap. Chapters expand
on:
- inter-civilizational conflict in global politics
- dialogue between religious and secular, East and West
- western concepts of Islamism
- euro-Islam and the Islamic diaspora in Europe
- Islamic humanism as a tool for bridging civilizations.
Shedding new light on the highly topical subject of Islam in
politics and society, this book is an essential read for scholars
and students of international politics, Islamic studies and
conflict resolution.
