Bassam Tibi

Political Islam, World Politics and Europe (eBook, ePUB)

From Jihadist to Institutional Islamism

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The rise of political Islam, as a force in world politics, has prompted questions and theories concerning its nature and compatibility with democratic values. Not least have been discussions and conflicts within Islamic communities, particularly in Europe where choices of identity and allegiance are growing acute.
Bassam Tibi provides a broad ranging assessment of political Islam in the world, in all its various manifestations. In particular he focuses on Europe which is also home to a significant Islamic minority. Whilst rejecting the Clash of Civilizations theory the author clearly demonstrates the growing conflict and incompatibility between Islamist movements and European democracy. A practicing Muslim himself, Bassam Tibi, makes clear the vital importance of developing a Euro Islam that will peacefully accommodate religious beliefs within an inclusive democratic European culture.
This is an innovative and challenging work that will give readers a clearer understanding of political Islam, particularly in Europe where the issues of religion, identity and democracy are pressing. Political Islam, World Politics and Europe will be of interest to students and scholars studying Middle Eastern and European politics, political Islam and international relations.
