This book is an accessible and comprehensive account of political
Islam in the contemporary world. Providing a broad introduction to
all major aspects of the interface of Islam and politics it
combines an accessible style with sufficient depth for the academic
classroom. Drawing on insights from comparative politics and
Islamic studies, this book explains the complex interaction between
Islam, society, the state, and processes of globalization.
Preserving the previous editions' strong focus on key concepts from
Islamic history as they relate to contemporary political Islam,
this new edition includes coverage of important developments and
updated country overviews from the Middle East, Central and South
Asia, Southeast Asia, Europe and North America. Features include:
Two new case studies on Southeast Asia and Europe. Exploration of
the origins and development of ISIS, Al-Qaeda and various regional
affiliates of the global Salafi-Jihadi movement. Coverage of
contemporary debates about radicalization and violent extremism.
Examination of questions of Islam's compatibility with democracy;
the role of women; and Islamic perspectives on violence and
conflict. Discussion of major theoretical debates in the literature
on political Islam, the debate on Islamic exceptionalism and
whether Islamist politics can be understood using the conventional
tools of comparative political science and International Relations.
These updates ensure the book remains the single best introduction
to the topic of political Islam for students and scholars, foreign
policy professionals and the general reader.
