Islam Encountering Globalisation

One of the greatest dilemmas facing Muslims today is the fact that Muslim culture is often seemingly incompatible with the culture of the modern Western world and the features associated with it - technological progress consumerism and new electronic communication all of which have the potential for a homogenizing effect on any culture. This book explores many key aspects of the globalisation process discussing how Muslim countries are coping with globalisation as well as considering how the West is responding to Islam.
