Sumario: | Radical Islam poses a political challenge like that of no other radical religious movement. Ideologically, it is perceived by Western policy makers as threatening liberal-democratic ideology by which most states in the West abide and which most other states rhetorically espouse. This book is an to the intellectual and policy debate on the nature of the radical Islam phenomenon and how to respond to it. The collection is divided into three parts: the first part seeks to understand Islamic challenge in broad comparative and historical terms, while the second part deals with specific regional case studies, which seek to identify patterns of uniformity and variation in radical Islam. The third part is policy-oriented, suggesting possible responses to Islamic challenge. Contributors include distinguished researchers from Europe, North America and Middle East. This book is of interest to students of Islamism, political violence, international security and Middle Eastern politics. |
