"This is the most valuable contribution that this volume (considered in its totality) makes to IR: it widens the Western gaze and IR understandings of and from other realities, in this case, the “Islamic civilisation”. This volume broadens IR from within, and rather than providing a critique from outside the discipline it engages critically with IR’s main established politics and paradigms and it reconciles them and broadens them through engagement with Islamic precepts."Alice Martini Dirpolis, Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies, Italy and Political Science and International Relations Department, Autonomous University of Madrid, Madrid Spain
