Authors: Tareq Al-Bishri - AbdulFattah Madi - Marwa Fikry - Nahed Ezz El-Din - Somaia AbdulMohsen - Ahmad Khalaf ************ This book is a major link in a series of publications of an integrated project that aims to study, analyze and build political systems from an Islamic civilizational perspective. This academic introduction presents an Islamic civilizational vision of the political system: its standard model for evaluating it, its founding statements on how to build and consider it, and the different levels of analysis from functions, institutions, forces and interactions. This publication covers the theoretical and conceptual dimensions of studying political systems. The importance of theories and concepts increases within the framework of a perspective that seeks to break the dominance of the Western secular cognitive model over academic writings, and to deal positively with that cognitive bias that has continued for decades. The civilizational perspective aims to understand and address contemporary reality in general - and the reality of Muslims in particular - based on harmony with the authentic civilizational identity while absorbing modern political science. Theories and concepts are perhaps the most expressive intellectual vessels of this identity. ************* 482 pages.
