-- Sponsor:          Henkel (Gerda) Foundation

-- SYNOPSIS:  This special programme is aimed at researchers who are
examining the emergence of political movements in the Islamic world at
the national and/or transnational level and would like to link this
research with current developments.

-- Deadline(s):      07/16/2010

-- E-mail:           info@gerda-henkel-stiftung.de

-- Web Site: http://www.gerda-henkel-stiftung.de/content.php?nav_id=195&amp;language=en
 
-- OBJECTIVES:  The programme address a striking imbalance in
current analyses: namely that, under the paradigm of fundamentalism,
Islamic movements are primarily seen as social forces seeking a
reactive withdrawal from current politics. By contrast, this programme
is devoted to projects that examine to what extent, under what
conditions and against what background current Islamic or
Islam-oriented movements regard themselves as new political elites
with the objective of reconstructing their society for a modern
future. In this context especially comparative studies are encouraged
and promoted in which historical research is linked to religious,
cultural and political science perspectives.   Special attention
will be paid within the programme to Islamism's links, intersections,
or influencing, with and by nationalism or trans-nationalism within
the Islamic area. Not the least important element will be comparative
study of possible schisms or areas of conflict and the potential for
violence between cultural areas in the process of globalisation. In
addition to the support of research projects and scientific
conferences, events of various types will be staged and supported
aimed at encouraging diverse and expert discussion of this topic in
public and political circles. Within the framework of the special
programme PhD scholarships are only granted in connection with a
research project.  The sponsor supports research projects under
the following five headings: Historical and present day Islamic
systems of society and state;  The concept of nation, national
movements and nationalism in Islamic civilisation; Islamic
fundamentalism or Islamic emancipation?; Civil society movements in
the Islamic world; and Islamic states in the international world
system.
