This book sheds light on a particular facet of the link between
politics and Islam through the analysis of the relationship between
Islamism and the built environment. The relationship between Islam
and politics has always been controversial, yet it has possibly
never been as controversial as it is at the time of writing. This
new edited volume sets out to explore the interactions between
Islamisms and the built environment through issues such as: spatial
negotiations between nation and Islam in the definition of national
identity; everyday spaces and the making of Islamic milieus; the
role of Islam in the making (and/or remaking) of state ideology via
architecture and urban planning; the influence of globalization and
transnational links on the spatial manifestations of Islam(ism);
and transnational architectural exchanges through global Islam. It
expands on these issues through case studies analysing the role of
the built environment and the urban realm as major media in the
making of Islamist politics. The case studies incorporate
manifestations in Muslim-dominated countries, including those where
Islam has been at the heart of state ideology (Pakistan and
Brunei), those with influential grassroots Islamist networks
(pre-revolutionary Iran and Indonesia), those that identify with
Islam through global exchanges (United Arab Emirates, Kazakhstan
and Turkey) and countries where Islam is an increasingly
significant reference utilized by political actors (Algeria and
Lebanon). This book will appeal to students and scholars of
architecture, urban studies and cultural studies, as well as those
interested in the social and political aspects of the built
environment.
