International Relations tends to rely on concepts that developed on
the European continent, obscuring the fact that its history is far
less 'international' than one might expect. But in today's global
world, who does this ignore and marginalize? And what impact does
that have on the discipline's potential to assess world politics?
This book explores an Islamic approach to the 'international',
showing that Islam can contribute keen insights into how we 'do'
IR, and how we might change that practice to be more inclusive,
while also highlighting the limits of an 'Islamic International
Relations'. Exploring conceptualizations of community and
difference in Islamic traditions, the book relates these notions to
concepts that are considered universal in IR, such as state-based
politics and the necessity for secularism. In this way, the book
shows how the study of political Islam might help to interrogate
and redefine key concepts within international politics. In a world
of continuing polarization between 'Islam' and 'the West', this
book offers IR a chance to engage in a constructive dialogue with
Islamic traditions, in order to better understand global politics.
