The Caliphate of Man
Sovereignty, in European political theory, is conventionally identified as the legitimate right of the state to exercise the hegemony of power, a function that, today, is usually legitimized by the democratic political structure of the state itself. In the Islamic world, however, that process of legitimization is traditionally embodied in the fact that sovereignty is a divine attribute, articulated within Muslim society initially by the Prophet a…

Alexander Fenoult
This article explores the activities of colonel Alexander Nikolaevich Fenoult after his emigration to Finland and his work in the Special Committee for Russians in Finland. Providing monetary and legal assistance to Russian refugees required a degree of self-sacrifice from the Committee’s chairman. Fenoult fulfilled this role honourably, which earned him the sympathy and gratitude of the Russian diaspora in Finland. Also reports by the Finnish Se…
Islamist Radicalisation in Europe and the Middle East
Are today's radicals tomorrow's extremists? Are adherents to Islamism necessarily extremist or violent? Most analyses of violence emanating from the Middle East or from Europe's Muslim communities tend to assume that this is the case. Not so in this book. Instead, with a wide-ranging and case-by-case approach, it seeks to look beyond these assumptions, examining the specific contexts of radicalism and asking what creates the conditions for radica…
Relations between Libya, Tunisia and Malta up to the British Occupation of Malta
The conventional view is that Malta has been on the ‘forgotten frontier’ of Christian maritime resistance to Islamic expansionism since the Islamic invasions of North Africa in the seventh century. The limited archival and archeological evidence suggests that, up to the arrival of the Order of the Knights of St John of Jerusalem in Malta in 1530, this picture is not accurate. The Islamic occupation of the Maltese archipelago in 870 created a cosm…
The Moroccan Nationalist Movement
The conventional view of the Moroccan nationalist movement argues that its success was rooted in the experience of the Second World War in Morocco. However, this overlooks the critical differentiation in popular response to nationalist ideas that developed over the period from 1926 to independence in 1956. Whereas the pre-war nationalist movement was urban-based, with a strong middle-class and Salafiyyist tradition behind it, and picked up suppor…

The French occupation of the western Jafara and the village of Dahibat, 1890-1891
The creation of the Libyan-Tunisian border through the Jafara plain, in the wake of the French occupation of Tunisia in 1881, was to be codified in a formal treaty in 1910, just before the Italian occupation of Libya and the outbreak of the Italo-Libyan wars. However, the border, as then defined, had little to do with any prior social, political or economic reality – Muslim political theory is more concerned with communal sovereignty than with te…

Arab Nationalism and Palestine
Despite the fact that the Arab-Israeli conflict is the critical issue in the Arab World, there is a striking lack of sympathy with the specific demands of the Palestinians, both amongst Arab regimes and the Muslim populations in the area. National consciousness has few indigenous roots in the Middle East because of the assumptions of universality within Islam. When it did arise, it was a specific response to European technological dominance and p…
