Escalating Legitimacy Crises
Western and Islamic societies suffer from a common ailment—their citizens are losing trust in the basic integrity of their political institutions. There is a growing sense that systematic injustices are the core reasons behind economic, political and social crises. The result is a global decline of political authority. Embattled liberals in the West and the Islamic world want to bolster struggling democracies, new and old. Both groups see religio…
China and the Islamic World
China is building a New Silk Road that runs through the heartland of the Muslim world. Its leaders promise to bring about change through improved economies and greater communications across the Eurasian and African continents. While China has the financial and technical resources to accomplish its infrastructure goals, it is sorely unprepared to deal with the social and political demands of the people in the partner countries. This book addresses…
Reimagining the Hajj
Throughout the Middle East and the Islamic world, political and religious leaders are being pulled into sharpening debates over rival approaches to reforming the Hajj. For at least two decades, Hajj controversies have deepened with rising death tolls among the pilgrims and with soaring complaints about corruption and incompetence against pilgrimage managers in Saudi Arabia and dozens of other countries. Demands for Hajj reform are reaching new pe…
Des villes en révolte contre la « tyrannie de la majorité » ou comment empêcher l’émergence d’un pouvoir rural
Au cours des 29 mois qui séparèrent la chute du régime dictatorial de Moubarak et le coup d'état militaire contre le gouvernement démocratiquement élu de Mohammed Morsi, près de trente millions d'Égyptiens ont voté à quatre reprises : au référendum constitutionnel de mars 2011, aux élections législatives de novembre 2011 à janvier 2012, aux élections présidentielles de mai à juin 2012 et, enfin, pour le référendum constitutionnel de décembre 2012…

During the 29 months between the overthrow of the Mubarak dictatorship and the military coup against the democratically elected government of Muhammad Mursi, about thirty million Egyptians voted in four major national polls – the constitutional referendum of March 2011, the parliamentary elections of November 2011-January 2012, the presidential elections of May-June 2012, and the constitutional referendum of December 2012. Despite the shifting al…
China–Middle East Relations in Light of Obama’s Pivot to the Pacific
As the United States perceives the westward expansion of China’s influence as threatening both regional and worldwide balances of power, it has responded with an understandable but ill-conceived counter-action—the ‘Obama pivot’ from the Middle East to the Western Pacific. The new American thinking aims to divide the intercontinental and transoceanic regions that China and other nations want to integrate, while encouraging an ‘encircle China’ coal…

While the hajj is first and foremost a religious festival, it is also very much a political event. Every large Muslim state has developed a comprehensive hajj policy and a powerful bureaucracy to enforce it. This work argues, no secular or religious authority - national or international - can really control the hajj

Interest group politics in the Third World
Politics in Israel
Businessmen's Associations in Egypt and Turkey
Associations representing the special interests of the Egyptian business community have grown in number and variety during the last 15 years.
