Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of our project is to study the genealogy of politics and religion in West Asia (the so-called Near/Middle East). The project covers antiquity to the modern era at a macro-historical level. Taken into consideration are not only Islamic society and Pre-Islamic antiquity, but also Jewish and Christian societies, which have symbiotically cohabitated with Islamic society under the rule of various Islamic polities from the medieval to the modern period in West Asia, and the discourse of the modern Western Orientalists, which shaped the conventional historiography of West Asia, including the issue of politics and religion. Using interdisciplinary joint research, the project provides a new description of this problem. The main result of our project is published as a monograph.
