"Scruton shows how the different religious and philosophical roots of Western and Islamic societies have resulted in those societies' profoundly divergent beliefs about the nature of political order. For one thing, the idea of the social contract, crucial to the self-conception of Western nations, is entirely absent in Islamic societies. Similarly, Scruton explains why the notions of territorial jurisdiction, citizenship, and the independent legitimacy of secular authority and law are both specifically Western and fundamentally antipathetic to Islamic thought."--Jacket. 0aGlobalization. 0aGlobalizationxReligious aspects. 0aReligion and international affairs. 0aInternational relations. 0aTerrorism. 4aGlobalización  4aGlobalizaciónxAspectos religiosos  4aReligión y relaciones internacionales 4aReligión y política 0aRelaciones internacionales 4aTerrorismo
