"Crone makes Islamic political thought accessible by relating it to the contexts in which it was formulated, analyzing it in terms familiar to today's reader and, where possible, comparing it with both medieval European and later political thought. By examining the ideological point of departure for medieval Islamic political thought, Crone provides an invaluable foundation for a better understanding of contemporary Middle Eastern politics and current world events."--Jacket. 000425805 650_0 $$aIslam and state$$zIslamic Empire$$xHistory. 000425805 650_0 $$aIslam and politics$$zIslamic Empire$$xHistory. 000425805 650_0 $$aUmmah (Islam) 000425805 650_0 $$aPolitical science$$zIslamic Empire$$xHistory. 000425805 651_0 $$aIslamic Empire$$xPolitics and government. 000425805 651_0 $$aIslamic Empire$$xHistory$$y622-661. 000425805 651_0 $$aIslamic Empire$$xHistory$$y661-750. 000425805 651_0 $$aIslamic Empire$$xHistory$$y750-1258. 000425805 85200 $$bgen$$hDS38.2$$i.C76$$i2004 000425805 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:425805$$pGLOBAL_SET 000425805 980__ $$aBIB 000425805 980__ $$aBOOK
