Islam and Politics (3rd edition), 3rd Edition, is a textbook that examines how Islam interacts with society, the state, and globalization. Bringing together comparative politics and Islamic studies, the volume connects concepts from Islamic history to modern political dynamics.
Coverage addresses state formation, political strategies of Islamist actors, official Islamization policies, and movements operating within weak or failed states. The volume also investigates transnational militancy, tracing the development of Al-Qaeda, ISIS, and regional Salafi-Jihadi affiliates alongside debates over radicalization and democracy.
Containing 40 black-and-white illustrations, the textbook is prepared for students, scholars, foreign policy professionals, and general readers.
