Religion, ordre moral et resacralisation de la politique internationale
La problématique de la place des croyances dans la politique internationale dépasse celle de la religion. Le monde est de plus en plus structuré par des projets moraux concurrents, plutôt que par de simples blocs civilisationnels. Tandis que l’universalisme libéral recule, les traditions religieuses offrent des récits, une légitimité et des réseaux transnationaux qui permettent d’articuler d’autres visions de l’ordre, rendant le système mondial p…
The Geopolitics of Religious Soft Power: How States Use Religion in Foreign Policy
Religion seems to feature prominently in the international relations of many states around the world today. Whether mobilizing religious affinities as a form of public diplomacy, positioning religion as a force to counteract perceived ideological foes, or creating transnational networks of religious populism to support incumbent regimes, governments clearly perceive geopolitical utility in the power of religion. This edited volume on “The Geopoli…
Wahhabism and the World: Understanding Saudi Arabia's Global Influence on Islam
For more than half a century, Saudi Arabia—through both official and nongovernmental channels—has poured billions of dollars into funding and sponsoring religious activities and Islamic causes around the world. The effect has been to propagate Wahhabism, the distinctively rigid and austere form of Islam associated with the kingdom’s religious establishment, within Muslim communities on almost every continent. This volume features essays by leadin…
Right-Sizing Religion and Religious Engagement in Diplomacy and Development
Drawing on a combination of academic research and practical experience, this essay explores recent policy trends at the intersection of religion and diplomacy. Framing the issue in terms of a need to “right-size” approaches to religion in foreign policy, this analysis reflects on how to think about assessing the relevance of religion in particular diplomatic and developmental settings; efforts to determine the appropriate scope of religious engag…

Islam and Politics (3rd Edition)
How do religious beliefs affect politics?
Talal Asad points out that in other cultural traditions it is not so easy to make a firm separation between religion and other spheres of life such as politics, culture, and economics. Secularism is a vitally important concept because it leads us to ask questions about whether religion and politics are in fact separate categories and what the appropriate relationship between them should be. Religion and secularism are also implicated in important…
Islamic Political Thought: An Introduction Edited by Gerhard Bowering
Islamic Political Thought: An Introduction contains a selection of articles reprinted from the much larger and comprehensive Princeton Encyclopedia of Islamic Political Thought published in 2012 (hereafter PEIPT). More specifically, the sixteen chapters here represent the full contents of the earlier work’s ‘Central Themes’ section with the addition of an article on ‘women’, which, curiously, had originally been part of PEIPT’s section on ‘Modern…
Designating Muslims: Islam in the Western Policy Imagination
This essay tracks how Islam and Muslims have figured in American and European policy in recent years, and assesses the practical implications of specific Muslim-oriented policy initiatives. The central dilemma policymakers need to contend with is not one of determining the most appropriate policies for addressing challenges arising specifically from Islam and Muslims, but rather recognizing that in many respects the “Muslims” in question have bee…

New Security and Justice Sector Partnership Models: Implications of the Arab Uprisings
The United States faces a unique set of challenges and opportunities in strengthening security and justice sector partnerships in the Middle East and North Africa. RAND researchers analyzed potential new partnership models that could help implement recent policy guidance related to improving security and justice sector assistance and promoting reform in this region.
Islam and Politics
This book is an accessible and comprehensive account of political Islam in the twenty-first century. Drawing on insights from comparative politics and Islamic studies, it explains the complex interaction between Islam, society, the state, and processes of globalization. The book demonstrates that political Islam, far from being a monolithic phenomenon, varies considerably from country to country depending on its position in relation to society, t…
Bringing the United States Back into the Middle East
It has been all too common to criticize the Obama administration for a lack of strategic vision in responding to the Arab uprisings. While such criticism may be valid, it is time to move beyond cri
Islam and Exceptionalism in American Political Discourse
The phenomenal success achieved by Islamic political parties in the wake of the Arab uprisings of 2011 is one of the most significant and frequently noted developments to follow from those momentous events. Within a few months of the demise of long-standing authoritarian regimes, Islamist groups that had been banned and oppressed for decades found themselves flourishing. Soon El-Nahda in Tunisia and then Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood tasted victory …

Transnational Muslim solidarities and everyday life: Transnational Muslim solidarities and everyday life
Discussions of globalisation and identity have focused on the renewed relevance of various post-national frameworks of belonging, including the Muslim umma. This article argues against the idea that the umma has come to constitute a primary referent in contemporary Muslim debates about identity or a form of globalised political consciousness. Furthermore, the advent of 'post-Islamism' means that Islamic political mobilisation rarely seeks to esta…

Sufis and Salafis: The Political Discourse of Transnational Islam
Muslim Transnational Identity and State Responses in Europe and the UK after 9/11: Political Community, Ideology and Authority
Muslim youth in the United Kingdom have become the focus of significant scrutiny in the highly securitised environment that has surrounded discussions of Islam in Europe in recent years. The question of Muslim transnational identities and linkages has been of particular interest to this debate, although these phenomena are little understood in terms of their sociological formations. This contribution provides an account of the transnational dimen…
Globalization and the Politics of Religious Knowledge: Pluralizing Authority in the Muslim World
Globalizing processes have rendered as analytically insufficient accounts of authority in the Muslim world that rely exclusively on the interaction between text, discursive method and personified knowledge. The construction and negotiation of globalized authority in Islam, it is argued, can only be understood by reference to a set of pluralizing processes that intensify and in some instances radicalize a tendency towards authoritative pluralism t…

Reimagining Islam in Diaspora: The Politics of Mediated Community
This article looks at the mediation of one aspect of Middle Eastern culture, Islam, in the context of diasporic Muslim communities in the West. It explores the impact of information and communications technologies on debates relating to the normative boundaries of Islamic identity and community. It is argued that media technologies provide channels for new or previously disenfranchised voices to be heard in the public sphere of Muslim diasporas. …

Reading the state from elsewhere: Towards an anthropology of the postnational
My aim in this review article is to advance the argument that some of the best accounts of how we relate internationally are to be found outside the conventional boundaries of international relations (IR). In a recent review article in this journal, Kate Manzo also suggests that international relations might profit from a closer engagement with examples of disciplinary boundary crossing located in—or, perhaps more accurately, between —other field…
