This edited volume conceives of International Relations (IR) as an intellectual platform, and not as a unilateral project. It is in this vein of thought that each contributor explores Islamic contributions to the field, addressing the theories and practices of the Islamic civilization and of Muslim societies with regards to international affairs and to the discipline of IR. The inclusion of Muslim contributions is not meant to create an isolationist, judicious divide between what is Islamic and what is not. Instead, this study supports the inclusion of that knowledge as a building block in the field of IR. An outcome of the Co-IRIS team (International Relations and Islamic Studies Research Cohort), this study draws together the combined expertise of scholars of Islam in international affairs.

Editors:

Deina Abdelkader is Associate Professor at University of Massachusetts Lowell, USA, and the author of Social Justice in Islam (2000) and Islamic Activists: The Anti-Enlightenment Democrats (2011).

Nassef Manabilang Adiong is the editor of International Relations and Islam: Diverse Perspectives (2013), and the founder of PhISO (Philippine International Studies Organization).

Raffaele Mauriello is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Faculty of World Studies, University of Tehran, Iran. In 2013, he was awarded the prize for Book of the Year in Iran.

.

“The editors have presented in this book few viewpoints by able intellectuals on how Islam may treat certain contemporary international issues. Although I am sure it will certainly be of use to those who are doing research in this field, the real merits of the book will appear when experts on international affairs make their evaluation.” – Professor Yasın Ceylan, Middle East technical University, Turkey

‘‘This fulfilling work showcases the impact of Islam in international affairs, particularly within a large and comparative perspective. It is, indeed, a very appropriate source for scholars of social sciences who are interested in Islam and its current political status in the contemporary world.’’ – Professor İştar Gözaydın, Gediz University, Turkey

‘‘This is the most extensive work in IR and Islam. It presented original, creative, and genuine discourses in understanding Islamic approaches to the study of International Relations.’’ – Associate Professor Labeeb Ahmed Bsoul, Khalifa University, Abu Dhabi

“An outstanding effort to construct international theory from the East… Adiong and his collegues contributed to the Western-dominated international relations literature with an Islamic outlook.” – Assistant Professor Mustafa Serdar Palabıyık, TOBB University, Turkey
