Islam and Modernity: Syari'ah, Terrorism and Governance in South-East Asia

我们地区在后冷战时代面临重大的政治和法律挑战，其中最重要的挑战之一是好战的伊斯兰教。澳大利亚历来很少注意到其地理位置紧靠世界上最大的穆斯林人口以南的影响，但9/11事件和东南亚的伊斯兰恐怖主义表明，区域伊斯兰教对我们的福祉具有直接的战略和安全重要性。然而，澳大利亚对伊斯兰教和伊斯兰法律及其对区域治理的影响的理解存在很大差距。该项目弥补了这一差距，更新了有关东南亚穆斯林的学术研究，为澳大利亚的外交政策提供了信息，并与东南亚穆斯林学者和律师建立了联系。

Our region faces major political and legal challenges in the post-Cold War era, one of the most important of which is militant Islam. Australia has historically paid little attention to the implications of its location immediately to the south of the world's largest Muslim populations but 9/11 and Islamic terrorism in SE Asia have shown that regional Islam is of direct strategic and security importance for our welfare. There is, however, a significant gap in Australian understandings of Islam and Islamic law (syari'ah) and their implications for regional governance. This program addresses this gap, updates scholarship on SE Asian syari'ah, informs Australian foreign policy and builds bridges with SE Asian Muslim scholars and lawyers.
