Civil society and government in Islam / John Kelsay -- Perspectives on Islam and civil society / Farhad Kazemi -- Alternative conceptions of civil society: a reflective Islamic approach / Hasan Hanafi -- Islamic perspectives on territorial boundaries and autonomy / M. Raquibuz Zaman -- Religion and the maintenance of boundaries: an Islamic view / Sulayman Nyang -- Islam and ethical pluralism / Dale F.

Hashmi -- War and peace in Islam / Bassam Tibi -- Interpreting the Islamic ethics of war and peace / Sohail H. Hashmi.
Summary: One of the most dynamic aspects of the Islamic revival during the past two centuries has been the rethinking of Islamic political thought. A broad range of actors, ideas, and ideologies characterize the debate on how Islamic ethics and law should be manifested in modern institutions. Yet this aspect of the "return to Islam" has been neglected by policymakers, the media, and even many scholars, who equate "political Islam" with merely one strand, labeled "Islamic fundamentalism."
