About the Book

How does religious fundamentalism operate in modern global society? This two-volume series analyses the dynamics of fundamentalism and its relationship to the modern state, the public sphere and globalisation. In this first volume, fundamentalism is approached from the perspective of state and community building, ideology and practices within the context of global society, and the ways in which fundamentalism is intertwined with issues of politics, state power, democracy, globalization, political activism and political ideology. Expert scholars in the field address specific contemporary and past fundamentalist movements that have emerged from within mainstream Islam, Christianity, Baha'ism, Hinduism, Judaism and Buddhism. This is an important study of an increasingly significant and controversial aspect of modern society, and will be essential reading in the fields of Religion, Politics and International Relations.

Review :
'The aim of this book is to find a link between globalisation and fundamentalism. Whereas other definitions have sought to tie fundamentalism to modernity, its structures and concepts, this book singles out globalisation and its networks of communications as a primary factor. Moreover, by showing how the use by fundamentalists of the founding principles of their respective religions often results in a bifurcated view straddling both the modern and medieval scheme of things, this book serves to highlight the Manichean world of their ideological arguments. Chapters dealing with Twelver Shi'ism, Baha'ism, Serbian Orthodox nationalism, fundamentalist theories of ever-present conspiracies, the neo-Pentecostal community, Sayyid Qutb's creative commentary on the Qur'an and the political role of Islamism in Jordan, bring out clear connections between global developments and local manifestations of fundamentalism. This is a timely, erudite and highly relevant volume. It succeeds in throwing new light on an ever-evolving and elusive topic commonly known as "fundamentalism".' - Youssef Choueiri, Reader in Islamic Studies, School of Arts, Histories and Cultures, The University of Manchester
