| Sumario: | In this rich intellectual history, Cemil Aydin challenges the notion that anti-Westernism in the Muslim world is a political and religious reaction to the liberal and democratic values of the West. Nor is anti-Westernism a natural response to Western imperialism.

Aydin compares Ottoman Pan-Islamic and Japanese Pan-Asian visions of world order. |
