In some ways a sequel to his 2008 Political Islam, World Politics and Europe, explains Tibi (international relations, U. of Göttingen and Cornell U.), this volume also serves as a summation of his lifes work, gathering up insights from a variety of cross-cultural and international research projects. He does not deal specifically with political Islam here, but Islam in general, arguing that its predicament with modernity has become a source of tensions and conflicts. Peace is a major concern, and he makes the case vendre for religious reforms and innovative cultural change that could provide options for conflict resolution. Among his perspectives are the contemporary reinvention of sharia, cultural-religious tensions and identity politics, whether the failed cultural transformation in Egypt provides a model for the Islamic world, and the Gulf after the age of oil.
