The long-standing notion that "Islamic affairs" are removed from, and inevitably clash with, "Western affairs" has, since the publication of Samuel Huntingdon's Clash of Civilizations, taken on a new life. In this context a critical reassessment of history and a reconsideration of fundamental questions have become more urgent. In this book, leading scholars from the Muslim world and Europe look both at the existing ground for this project and consider new avenues of thought and research.
