Summary:

Serves two major purposes: Firstly, it introduces basic resources of Islamic thought and it develops among intellectuals, both Muslim and non-Muslim, Islamic theories of international relations. Secondly, it examines the reason why Islamic thought has apparently failed to play an active and constructive role in developing thoughts and ideas in the contemporary world. Moreover, it offers new alternatives to Western thoughts in the field of international relations; and thus addresses the growing need for peace, security, cooperation and participation.
