Biografisk notat
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).Why Islamists Go Green Politics, Religion and the Environment
Drawing on his extensive experience as a political scientist studying Islamist movements, Emmanuel Karagiannis has expanded his research with an examination of their wider agendas through the lens of eco-theology. By addressing this largely understudied aspect of Islamist activism and ideology, Why Islamists Go Green provides a welcome addition to the literature on militant political Islam.
- Carool Kersten, Kings College London,
The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the unique world of Islamist groups and how they can shed light on universally relevant questions: how are environmental problems framed? How are solutions pursued at the global vs local levels?
- Charlotte Hulme, United States Military Academy, International Affairs Vol. 100, No. 1
Karagiannis’s well-researched work outlines Islamist approaches to environmental issues. Its analysis of six organisations, including the Muslim Brotherhood, Hizbullah and ISIS, shows that political self-interest, rather than a theological rationale, drives the shift to environmentalism. This excellent volume enriches our knowledge of Islamist ideas and policies and exposes the secular motivations behind the religious veneer that overlays them.
- Katerina Dalacoura, London School of Economics,
Why Islamists Go Green is the first study of its kind to comprehensively examine the Islamist movements – the Muslim Brotherhood, Hizb ut-Tahrir, Hizbullah, Hamas, and jihadist-Salafi groups such as al-Qaeda and ISIS – and their relationship to the environment.
