Radical Islam poses a political challenge in the modern world which
is like that of no other radical religious movement. Ideologically,
it is perceived by Western policy makers as threatening the
liberal-democratic ideology by which most states in the West abide
and which most other states rhetorically espouse.
This book serves as a welcome addition to the intellectual and
policy debate on the nature of the radical Islam phenomenon and how
to respond to it. The collection is divided into three parts: the
first part seeks to understand the Islamic challenge in broad
comparative and historical terms, while the second part deals with
specific regional case studies, which seek to identify patterns of
uniformity and variation in radical Islam across a wide swath of
terrain. The third part is policy-oriented, suggesting possible
responses to the Islamic challenge. The contributors include
distinguished researchers from Europe, North America and the Middle
East.
This book will be of much interest to students of Islamism,
political violence, international security and Middle Eastern
politics.
