In this Special Issue, distinguished scholars from Europe and North America, representing diverse disciplinary and methodological approaches, problematize the clash of civilizations narrative by exploring more deeply and richly the intersection of Islam, immigration, and identity in the West. The themes addressed in these articles represent some of the most debated issues among scholars, journalists, and politicians pertaining to the place of Muslims in the West and include multiculturalism, Muslim political representation, Sharia controversies, the reconciliation of Muslim with national identities, racism, gender and sexuality, and Islamophobia. Geographically, the authors address the intersection of Islam, immigration, and identity in Western countries that include Britain, France, Italy, Malta, Spain, Sweden, Canada, and the United States. What the authors share in common is the desire to shed light on how the growth and increasing visibility of Muslim minority communities in the West has led both Muslim and non-Muslim populations to reflect on and/or reconsider cultural, religious, and national identities in light of the 'Other.' While the authors take seriously the very real tensions that exist between Muslim minority communities and the non-Muslim majorities of Europe and North America, they argue, explicitly or implicitly, that recourse to a clash of civilizations framework to explain these tensions does not do justice to the complex ways in which Muslim and Western identities are negotiated and transformed in light of the historic and contemporary interactions between the two.

International Relations tends to rely on concepts that developed on the European continent, obscuring the fact that its history is far less international than one might expect. But in today s global world, who does this ignore and marginalize? And what impact does that have on the discipline s potential to assess world politics? This book explores an Islamic approach to the international, showing that Islam can contribute keen insights into how we do IR, and how we might change that practice to be more inclusive, while also highlighting the limits of an Islamic International Relations . Exploring conceptualizations of community and difference in Islamic traditions, the book relates these notions to concepts that are considered universal in IR, such as state-based politics and the necessity for secularism. In this way, the book shows how the study of political Islam might help to interrogate and redefine key concepts within international politics. In a world of continuing polarization between Islam and the West, this book offers IR a chance to engage in a constructive dialogue with Islamic traditions, in order to better understand global politics. -- Provided by publisher.

"La diplomatie religieuse de l'Arabie saoudite constitue un étrange trou noir dans l'analyse du radicalisme qui affecte l'islam aujourd'hui. Pourquoi le salafisme, mouvance la plus intolérante et sectaire de l'islam, est-il devenu si conquérant ? Parce que parmi tous les radicalismes religieux qui pourrissent la planète, il est le seul à bénéficier d'un appui constant de la part d'un pays doté d'immenses moyens : le royaume saoudien. Cette étude, dont les collaborateurs ont souhaité conserver l'anonymat, révèle comment ce royaume aux deux visages, celui conciliant de la dynastie Saoud et celui plus agressif du salafisme, propagandiste du djihad, a depuis des décennies développé une stratégie religieuse pour conquérir la communauté musulmane, mais aussi l'Occident, sans apparaître comme un ennemi grâce à un soft power original, hybride des systèmes américain et soviétique. Aujourd'hui, ce pays longtemps protégé se retrouve menacé sur son propre territoire par le salafisme djihadiste qu'il a propagé ailleurs."--Page 4 of cover.

L’arrivée actuelle au pouvoir de partis héritiers de l’Islam politique nous amène à mettre ce système idéologique à l’épreuve du réel et à juger des constantes et ruptures dans le discours et l’action islamistes dans le domaine de la politique étrangère. Par l’étude de différents cas nationaux, il nous est possible de prendre la mesure de la fidélité ou bien de l’écart entre théorie et pratique et de réfléchir plus globalement à l’une des clés de l’avenir de cette région où islamistes ont ou auront peut-être à l’avenir l’opportunité de déployer leur vision du monde.
