Call for Book Chapters

Deadline: August 30, 2020

For several years Islamism has been associated with jihadism and violent extremism both in academia and in contemporary political debates. However, this association can be misleading: Islamism has much deeper roots than jihadi terrorism and it stands as a powerful and complex ideology inspiring thoughts, actions and groups all over the world.

Given that terrorists are only a small and definite portion of Islamists, this volume aims to re-focus research on Islamism beyond jihadism by collecting relevant contributions on Islamist but non-violent organizations.

More precisely, this volume seeks original contributions investigating the following issues:

• The origins of Islamism and the differences with jihadism

• The evolution of Islamism over time and places

• The role played by non-jihadist Islamist organizations in different national contexts and their appeal
