The “International Journal of Islam in Asia” (IJIA) is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal that publishes articles from all disciplines as well as single country and comparative perspectives that concern Islam in Asia. IJIA offers a platform for scholars to engage in academic discussions about historical, contemporary, and critical studies of Islam and Muslim communities in Asia and the Asian Muslim diaspora. These include, but are not limited to, MENA-Asia relations, Islamic thought and intellectual history, intra-Muslim relations, Sufism, Islam and ethnicity, Islam and modernity, Islam and politics, Islam and the State, Islam and geopolitics, and relations between Muslims and non-Muslims across Asia.
The Co-IRIS Project

The “Islam and Global Studies series” provides a platform for the progression of knowledge through academic exchanges based on multidisciplinary socio-political theory that studies the human condition and human interaction from a global perspective. It publishes monographs and edited volumes that are multidisciplinary and theoretically grounded and that address, in particular, non-state actors, Islamic polity, social and international justice, democracy, geopolitics and global diplomacy. Thus cross-national, cross-cultural, minority and identity studies compose the building block of this series; sub-areas of study to which Islamic theory and socio-political praxis can provide an alternative and critical lens of inquiry.
Islam and International Relations (IR): why is there no Islamic IR theory? by Ali Bakir
