This course is an exploration of the tradition of Islamic political thought. It begins with a close examination of canonical thinkers in the Islamic tradition, then proceeds to an examination of the Islamic reformist period by looking at the encounters with European liberalism, colonialism, and the demands for secular reform. It then turns to a close analysis of key texts of political Islam and explores their impact on contemporary global politics.
