The book provides a needed challenge to the long-held perception amongst scholars of governance and modernity: namely that Islam is a source of pre-modern rationales creating obstacles to modern governance and state maintenance processes. The book provides empirical insights into the connection between global modernity and modern frames for identity construction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Stephan Stetter\u003c\/strong\u003e is professor in International Politics and Conflict Studies at the University of the Bundeswehr Munich and a Visiting Professor (2024\/25) at the University of Bologna.
