This book examines the Islamist concept of political order. Islamists themselves have given it the name: 'the Islamic state'. This order is based on a new interpretation of sharia. This concept has been elevated to a political agenda. The shariastate is analysed in the context of the 2011uprising, dubbed Arab Spring, against authoritarian regimes. The book challenges the unchecked assumption that the seizure by Islamists of leadership in the A...

Die Terroranschläge vom 11. September 2001 haben urplötzlich bewußt gemacht, daß der islamische Fundamentalismus auch den Westen in einen "irregulären Krieg" hineinzieht, wie er im Nahen Osten seit langem im Gange ist. Bassam Tibi hat vor dem Hintergrund dieser Ereignisse sein erfolgreiches Standardwerk überarbeitet und ein neues Kapitel zum schwarzen 11. September und seinem weltpolitischen Rahmen eingefügt. Die zentrale These bleibt jedoch u...

This text is concerned with political Islam and in particular the global challenges posed by Islamists and Jihadists. Special emphasis is placed on the philosophical and political conflict in Europe between an Islamist agenda and democratic values.

Bassam Tibi offers a radical solution to the problems faced by Islam in a rapidly changing and globalizing world. He proposes a depoliticization of the faith and the introduction of reforms to embrace secular democracy, pluralism, civil society and individual human rights. The alternative to this is the impasse of fundamentalism. The pivotal argument is that Islam is being torn between the pressure for cultural innovation and a defensive move ...

Few studies of Middle East wars go beyond a narrative of events and most tend to impose on this subject the rigid scheme of superpower competition. The Gulf War of 1991, however, challenges this view of the Middle East as an extension of the global conflict. The failure of the accord of both superpowers to avoid war even once regional superpower competition in the Middle East had ceased must give rise to the question: Do regional conflicts hav...
