With a range of outstanding contributors that includes academics and human rights advocates this book tackles the diversity of Islamist thinkingand practice in various Western countries and explores their transnational connections in both East and West.

The book analyses developments in Islamist thinking and activities, and their connections to the latest global political and economic trends, and discusses future evolutions of the ideology and its manifestations.
