Publisher's Synopsis
In this accessible and carefully researched text, the authors broach one of the most urgent issues thrown up by the process of contemporary globalisation - the future of the Muslim World. Their analysis probes the key material links between economic underdevelopment and Western-Islamic cultural relations. This book is vital reading for anyone who wishes to understand the roots of the current high-profile tension in global politics and to think beyond these conflicts towards the task of building a just and peaceful global order.
