SoSe 14: Islam and Politics
Fouad Gehad Marei
Kommentar
Whether it is through violence, 'extremism', or democratic participation, political movements and groups considered 'Islamist' are contending for power. This is exacerbated by popular uprisings against authoritarian regimes in the Middle East and the subsequent rise of Islamist forces in the public domain. As a result, political Islam has become an increasingly topical issue for students and scholars of Middle Eastern politics.
This course is designed to provide students with a critical and multidisciplinary introduction to political Islam. Examining the various expressions of Islam in politics and society in the modern world, the course engages students with critical debates on some of the central paradigms of modern 'Islamism'. While focusing primarily on 'Islamism' as a social and political force in the Muslim-majority societies of the Middle East, the course will also examine the global reach of 'Islamism' and the engagement of Muslim communities in 'the West' with the paradigms of contemporary political Islam. In doing so, the course offers an insight into Sunni and Shi'a variants of political Islam, violent and non-violent Islamist movements, and Islamist movements on the national, subnational, and transnational levels.
The working language of this course is English.
