Dans la foulée de la révolution iranienne, et avec notamment les attentats du 11 septembre 2001, un vaste mouvement témoigne dans le monde entier de logiques de violence qui en premier lieu mettent ...en avant la religion musulmane. Aux États-Unis, au Royaume-Uni et ailleurs, les chercheurs, les responsables politiques, les think tanks, les agences de sécurité et les médias se sont massivement emparés du phénomène qu'ils qualifient de radicalisation afin de l'analyser et le comprendre. En France, et pour des raisons idéologiques, la notion de radicalisation est mise de côté. Pourtant, les problèmes qu'elle recouvre sont vastes et nombreux : il était urgent d'en analyser les ressorts. Qui se radicalise, comment, pour quelle raison ? Quels rôles jouent l'idéologie, le contexte politique, la situation sociale, la religion elle-même pour les individus qui s'engagent dans des processus aboutissant à des attitudes où se conjuguent inflexibilité, désir et pratique d'une violence sans limites, dans une guerre totale contre la société ? Farhad Khosrokhavar était le mieux préparé par ses recherches pour suivre les méandres les plus récents de l'islam radical. Il nous apporte des connaissances souvent étonnantes et une analyse approfondie de la radicalisation jihadiste en Europe et dans le monde arabe. Il nous propose aussi un éclairage particulièrement saisissant des processus se traduisant par exemple par l'afflux de jeunes Européens vers la Syrie.
The Oxford Handbook of Islam and Politics offers a geographically comprehensive, in-depth analysis of the interaction of Islam and politics in the post-9/11 era, in an increasingly globalizing world, ...and in an Arab world transitioning to democracy.It addresses significant questions and issues such as: What is the current state of Islam and politics? How and why has political Islam been relevant in recent years? What are the repercussions and policy implications of the increased role of Islamic movements? And where is political Islam heading? The Handbook is organized into four parts. The first part analyzes the contexts and intellectual responses of political Islam.The second part focuses on the main ideologues of contemporary political Islam. The third part provides critical overviews of the interaction of Islam and politics regionally, in North America, Europe, the Middle East, in Central, South, and Southeast Asia as well as North and Sub Saharan Africa. The fourth part presents an in depth analysis of the dynamics of political Islam in politics through a wide range of case studies divided along three foci: Political Islam in Power; Islamic Movements and the Democratization Process; and Jihadist Political Islam.
Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) have recently become the focus of much scholarly debate. Yet, we know little about the pressures that NGOs face and the contexts that they operate within, for ...most empirical research focuses solely on the relationship between NGOs and the state. By contrast, this article focuses on the relationship between women's NGOs and religious fundamentalism in Pakistan. I rely on ethnographic data collected in Pakistan between January and June 2004 to argue that Islamic fundamentalism poses a unique challenge to women's NGOs in the country. I examine the various strategies and responses used by women's NGOs in Pakistan to counter fundamentalism. I conclude with a critique of the strategies employed by women's NGOs and discuss their possibilities and limitations for bringing about structural changes in the position of women in Pakistan.

This article questions one of the central postulates of institutional economic theory, i.e., that of the sustainability and purely evolutionary changes of informal institutions. To study the ...phenomenon of the destruction of informal institutions and its consequences, we use the tools of sociological theory, which acknowledge that a period of intensive urbanization is characterized by anomie, i.e., a lack of norms, in which traditional institutions are destroyed, while new urban institutions have not yet taken shape. We reviewed the possible reactions of communities and individuals to the conditions of anomie, including the compensatory mechanisms of ideologies. In the case of the Dagestan Republic, we show how the proliferation of fundamentalist Islamic ideology is associated with the state of anomie and the consequences to which it could lead from an institutional point of view. The analysis of the situation in Dagestan is based on long-term field research conducted in the region.

Much of the article focuses on the West's reaction to the threat of Islamism and he points out that if, as some claim, the threat is Islam, and that Islamism and Islam are interchangeable, then it ...would mean that a monolithic Islam and the West are indeed at war, and that the Islamic world and the Western world are immutably hostile entities. First and foremost this requires the West to understand who their enemies and friends are, and in so doing distinguish between Islamism and Islam.
While developmental theorists rely heavily on analysis of macro and micro economic theories and developmental sequencing, not much attention is paid to the undeniable linkage between the ...post-seventies liberalization of global economies and the rise of different kinds of religious fundamentalism. This article suggests that there is a strong connection between neoliberal economics and the rise of Islamic fundamentalism. The rise of Islamic fundamentalism in Pakistan can be directly linked to the insertion of performative religious acts, predominantly Islamic, into the national public sphere during the rule of Zia-ul-Haq. Since that time, the public sphere in Pakistan has been increasingly Islamized, and the space of minorities within the public sphere has constantly diminished. Furthermore, this rise of fundamentalism is inextricably linked with the deregulation policies adopted for Pakistan. Thus, as the state fails in its redemptive functions, the private religious charities encroach upon the civic functions of the state, which enables such entities to shape and imbue the public consciousness of their beneficiaries with an exclusivist and chauvinistic view of the world. The fundamentalist Islamic ideologies, that of the Taliban for example, must posit a threatening "other" in order to mobilize support and legitimate their own view of the nation; In most of cases, minorities become an easy target for this process of othering. In case of the Taliban, the same principles of exclusion are also extended to various Muslim sects that may not conform to the purist view of religion espoused by the Taliban.

The Cabo Delgado province in the northernmost portion of the long Mozambican seaboard is now home to Africa's three largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects, and these projects have attracted ...many of the world's major multinational energy companies, accompanied by massive LNG investments. There can be little doubt that the discovery of rich gas reserves is a potential game changer for the Mozambican economy and development agenda. It is potentially an opportunity for the rapid advancement of a country that currently ranks close to the bottom of the United Nation's Human Development Index. However, despite the billions in investments from major multinational energy companies, the people of Cabo Delgado are yet to see the material benefit from these projects. One of the biggest risks to investors in the LNG industry is the many unknowns pertaining to the threat posed by the militant Islamic movement, Ansar al-Sunna, which has especially been active since 2017 in the Cabo Delgado province. In view of this, this article assesses Mozambique's LNG industry and the political risks associated with the insurgent movement's intention to establish an Islamic caliphate in the Cabo Delgado area.
