Summary: | Investigates the environmental policies of transnational and militant Islamist groupsExamines and compares the environmentalism of Al-Qaeda, ISIS, Hamas, Hizbullah and Hizb ut-TahrirCovers different thematic areas, including water, trees, animal issues, energy and pollutionExpands research into Islamist environmentalism through the combined lens of political science and Islamic studiesFrom North Africa to Indonesia, Muslim populations have struggled to cope with the new environmental realities. However, in the era of globalisation, institutionalised Islamist parties, particularly in government, are increasingly addressing green issues and suggesting policies in order to help protect water supplies, reduce pollution and increase tree plantation. This applies to Islamists who participate in electoral politics, as well as those who are classified as transnational or militant. Delving into the causes of this new environmentalism phenomenon, Emmanuel Karagiannis explores the religious and political motivations of five Islamist groups and assesses the degree of influence that Islamic texts, rulings and principles have on the green policies pursued. |
