Description
This scholarly examination explores the theoretical and practical challenges that emerged when modern European nationalism was adopted by Muslim societies and formally structured states. Originally published in 1987, the book addresses the doctrinal tensions between Islamic principles and the Western concept of the territorial nation-state. Through analysis of multiple Islamic world states, it reveals how the state as a power organization has remained durable throughout Islamic history, whilst examining the legitimacy questions that arise from this fundamental incompatibility. The work provides essential insight into the intersection of religious doctrine and political sovereignty, making it valuable for students and scholars of Islamic studies, political theory, and the relationship between religion and governance in the modern world.

Key Features

Examines theoretical problems arising from nationalism adoption in Muslim societies organized as modern states.

Addresses doctrinal incompatibility between Islam and the non-Muslim concept of the territorial nation-state.

Provides case studies of several Islamic world states illustrating the conflict between religious and political structures.

Originally published in 1987 and reissued as part of the Routledge Library Editions collection.

Explores the durability of the state as a power organization throughout Islamic history and its legitimacy foundations.
