Islam Beyond Conflict: Indonesian Islam and Western Political TheoryAzyumardi Azra, Wayne Hudson The case of Indonesia suggests that the prospects for governance reform based on Islamic principles are better than most existing literature suggests. This volume explores the extent to which moderate Indonesian Islam is able to assimilate leading concepts from Western political theory. The essays in this collection, suggest that concepts from Western political theory are compatible with a liberal interpretation of Islamic universals and that such universals can form the basis for a contemporary approach to the protection of human rights and the articulation of a modern Islamic civil society. |
