Since the Mediterranean connects cultures, Mediterranean studies have by definition an intercultural focus. Throughout the modern era, the Ottoman Empire has had a lasting impact on the cultures and societies of the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean. However, the modern Balkans are usually studied within the context of European history, the southern Mediterranean within the context of Islam. Although it makes sense to connect both regions, this is a vast field and requires a command of different languages not necessarily related to each other. Investigating both Greek and Arabic sources, this book will shed some light on the significance of ideas in the political transitions of their time and how the proponents of these transitions often became so overwhelmed by the events that they helped trigger adjustments to their own ideas. Also, the discourses in Greek and Arabic reflect the provinces of the Ottoman Empire and it is instructive to see their differences and commonalities which helps explain contemporary politics.

Dass der Islam in der modernen Welt, die von Demokratie, Säkularismus und Fortschritt geprägt ist, nur bestehen könne, wenn er eine Reformation durchlaufe, wird von den einen behauptet, von den anderen bestritten und ist Gegenstand einer bis heute andauernden Debatte, die sich mindestens bis auf das frühe 20. Jahrhundert zurückverfolgen lässt. Dieser Sammelband lässt Stimmen für und wider eine Reformation im Islam zu Wort kommen und rückt die Debatte in das Licht aktueller Ereignisse und Herausforderungen, zu denen nicht zuletzt der Aufstieg des Salafismus gehört. Der InhaltEinführungReformation als HerausforderungIslam und PolitikReformation und die GeschlechterfrageVergleichende PerspektivenDie ZielgruppenPhilosophenTheologenSozialwissenschaftlerPolitik- und ReligionswissenschaftlerHistorikerDie HerausgeberJörgen Erik Klußmann ist Studienleiter an der Evangelischen Akademie im Rheinland und nebenberuflich Coach und Trainer für soziokulturelle und religiöse Sensibilisierung sowie für systemische Konflikttransformation.Dr. Michael Kreutz ist Politologe und Orientalist in Bochum mit den Arbeitsschwerpunkten Moderne Geschichte des Nahen Ostens und Südosteuropas, politische Ideengeschichte, Europa und der Islam, Religion und Politik.Aladdin Sarhan ist Islamwissenschaftlicher Referent und Sachverständiger in der Abteilung Staatsschutz des Landeskriminalamts Rheinland-Pfalz.
