Governing Islam Abroad Introduction

Governing Islam Abroad : Introduction [Over the last decades, the relations between the state and Islam have become an issue of public debate in Western Europe. However, these debates have responded more to each country’s internal struggles over national identity than have sought to dialogue with Muslim actors. Islam has emerged as an essentialized explanatory category that simplifies complex issues and randomly associates Muslims with unrelated geopolitical conflicts, while overlooking the complicated foreign policy issues that do exist. This chapter introduces the under-examined topic of home state involvement in governing diaspora Islam abroad, focusing on the cases of Turkey and Morocco, and poses the question of how and why both states seek to maintain control over their transnational religious fields abroad.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[Over the last decades, the relations between the state and Islam have become an issue of public debate in Western Europe. However, these debates have responded more to each country’s internal struggles over national identity than have sought to dialogue with Muslim actors. Islam has emerged as an essentialized explanatory category that simplifies complex issues and randomly associates Muslims with unrelated geopolitical conflicts, while overlooking the complicated foreign policy issues that do exist. This chapter introduces the under-examined topic of home state involvement in governing diaspora Islam abroad, focusing on the cases of Turkey and Morocco, and poses the question of how and why both states seek to maintain control over their transnational religious fields abroad.]
