Bassam Tibi

Islam in Global Politics (eBook, ePUB)

Conflict and Cross-Civilizational Bridging

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines global and local politics and how Islam impacts on "civilizational" relations between different groups and polities. In particular he examines how Islamism (as opposed to Islam) 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.
