Investigates the environmental policies of transnational and militant Islamist groups
Examines and compares the environmentalism of transnational groups that have been labelled as extremist or militant: the Muslim Brotherhood, Hizb ut-Tahrir, Hamas, Hizbullah, Al-Qaeda and ISIS
Covers different thematic areas, including land and water management, trees, animal issues, energy and pollution
Seeks to expand research into Islamist environmentalism through the combined lens of political science and Islamic studies
From North Africa to Indonesia, Muslim populations have struggled to cope with the new environmental realities. In the era of globalisation, however, Islamists are increasingly addressing green issues and suggesting policies to help protect the environment. Delving into the causes of this new environmentalism phenomenon, Emmanuel Karagiannis explores the motivations of different Islamist groups and assesses the degree of influence that Islamic texts, rulings and principles have on the green policies pursued.
Dr Emmanuel Karagiannis is a Reader in International Security at King's College London's Department of Defence Studies. He is the author of The New Political Islam: Human Rights, Democracy and Justice (The University of Pennsylvania Press, 2018) and Political Islam in Central Asia: The Challenge of Hizb ut-Tahrir (Routledge, 2010).
