This updated, second edition of the Handbook of Political Islam
covers a range of political actors that use Islam to advance their cause. While they
share the ultimate vision of establishing a political system governed by Islam,
their tactics and methods can be very different. Capturing this diversity, this
volume also sheds light on some of the less-known experiences from South East Asia
to North Africa.
Drawing on expertise from some of the top scholars in the world, the chapters examine
the main issues surrounding political Islam across the world, including:
Theoretical foundations of political Islam
Historical background
Geographical spread of Islamist movements
Political strategies adopted by Islamist groups
Terrorism
Attitudes towards democracy
Relations between Muslims and the West in the international sphere
Challenges of integration
Gender relations
Capturing the geographical spread of Islamism and the many manifestations of
this political phenomenon make this book a key resource for students and researchers
interested in political Islam, Muslim affairs and the Middle East.
