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

我们的地区在后冷战时代面临着重大的政治和法律挑战，其中最重要的挑战之一是激进的伊斯兰教。澳大利亚历来很少关注其紧邻世界上最大的穆斯林人口南部的地理位置的影响，但9/11事件和东南亚的伊斯兰恐怖主义表明，该地区的伊斯兰教对我们的福利具有直接的战略和安全重要性。然而，澳大利亚人对伊斯兰教和伊斯兰教法（syari'ah）及其对地区治理的影响的理解存在重大差距。该项目填补了这一空白，更新了东南亚伊斯兰教的学术研究，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桥梁。

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.
