Islamists and international relations

Full title of the conference: “Islamists and International Relations. What worldview? What diplomatic practices? Emergence, evolution and amendment of a culturalist and antagonistic theory of world space”.

Introduction:

Our paper will shed light on how Islamists (theorists, executives and activists) view international relations, which they think of as an intercultural space. Our proposal is intended to provide decisive elements regarding the vision and practice of the international of the actors of contemporary Islamism. The reading grid chosen is that of constructivism, since it is a question of describing and explaining the values and norms on the basis of which the Islamist ethic of the international fact has been thought out and deployed historically. The stakes of the relationship with the West are the main subject of our contribution and make it possible to restore the content of the Islamist ideology in this matter, its content, its different evolutions and its implementation.

Lecture given at the 3rd international congress of the PLURIEL network, from 23 to 27 May 2022 in Beirut.
In partnership with Saint Joseph University of Beirut and La Sagesse University.

Titre intégral de la conférence : “Les islamistes et les relations internationales. Quelle vision du monde ? Quelles pratiques diplomatiques ? Émergence, évolution et amendement d’une théorie culturaliste et antagonique de l’espace mondial”

Introduction :

Notre intervention fera la lumière sur le regard des islamistes (théoriciens, cadres et militants) sur les relations internationales, pensées par eux comme un espace interculturel. Notre proposition a vocation à apporter des éléments décisifs quant à la vision et la pratique de l’international des acteurs de l’islamisme contemporains. La grille de lecture retenue est celle du constructivisme puisqu’il est question de décrire et d’expliquer les valeurs et normes à partir desquelles l’éthique islamiste du fait international a été pensée et s’est déployée historiquement. Les enjeux du rapport à l’Occident offrent la matière principale de notre contribution et permettent de restituer la teneur de l’idéologie islamiste en la matière, son contenu, ses différentes évolutions et sa mise en pratique.

Conférence donnée lors du 3è congrès international du réseau PLURIEL, du 23 au 27 mai 2022 à Beyrouth.
En partenariat avec l’Université Saint Joseph de Beyrouth et l’Université La Sagesse.
