| |
- | -- Web Site: http://www.gerda-henkel-stiftung.de/content.php?nav_id=195&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.
