Islamic Leviathan: Islam and the Making of State Power (Religion and Global Politics)

Islamic Leviathan: Islam and the Making of State Power (Religion and Global Politics)

by SeyyedValiRezaNasr (Author)

Synopsis

Vali Nasr argues that the state itself plays a key role in embedding Islam in the politics of Muslim countries. The turn to Islam, argues Nasr, is a facet of the state's drive to establish hegemony over society and expand its power and control. He focuses on the cases of Malaysia and Pakistan to demonstrate his thesis.
