Génesis y resolución de conflictos relacionados con la instalación de mezquitas y oratorios: el caso del oratorio de Singuerlín (Santa Coloma de Gram…
2017
Durante los últimos años, se han sucedido, en diferentes territorios del Estado español, los conflictos relacionados con la instalación de mezquitas y oratorios destinados a la práctica del culto musulmán. Este artículo analiza uno de los conflictos más intensos, el desatado en 2004 ante el intento de apertura del oratorio del barrio de Singuerlín en Santa Coloma de Gramenet. Se estudia su raíz, su evolución y el papel que jugó la mediación intercultural en su gestión. A partir de las entrevistas en profundidad efectuadas con los actores implicados, varios años después, se analizan los elementos estructurales del conflicto y se plantea una reflexión acerca de la forma en la que se ha ido co…
Weaving the threads of international criminal justice: The double dialogicity of law and politics in the ICC al-Mahdi case
2021
International audience; In this paper, we examine the international criminal trial of Ahmad al-Faqi al-Mahdi, a Malian Islamist who appeared before the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, charged with the destruction of Islamic shrines during the 2012 jihadist occupation of Timbuktu. Our objective is to analyze the so-called 'al-Mahdi case' as a dialogical network (the destructions occurred in the context of an asynchronous translocal press-mediated exchange between jihadists and the international community) and as an event unfolding at a dialogical site (when the commander responsible for the destructions was referred to the ICC four years later). These two dialogical orders e…
Globalización, valores sociales y choque de civilizaciones
2005
The thesis of the supposed clash of the Islamic and the western civilizations is, by far, the most diffused and debated of all the subjects and proposals dealt Huntington in his book <i>The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order</i>, above all after the terrorist attacks of the September 11<sup>th</sup>. The results of the World Social Survey 2000-2001 directed by Inglehart, are used in the present article to test the thesis of the cultural differences in a wide sample of Western Christian and Islamic societies. The comparative analysis undertaken allows to conclude that the cultural differences between both group societies are quite important, althou…

A special issue, “Remembering the Past and the Future - Korean Culture in a Changing World,” is devoted to understanding Korean culture. Regardless of the bulk of comprehensive information available today, accurate knowledge of the Asian culture in Europe or the European culture in Asia has not become considerably deeper. Sometimes even to the contrary – the old stereotypes continue to exist as part of the packaging for pseudo information adjusted to the short-term goals of the contemporary globalised society, supplemented by travel guides and announcements tailored to the needs of immediate politically economic conjuncture. And yet, this is only the top of the intercultural communication i…
The impact of information and communication technology (ICT), education and regulation on economic freedom in Islamic Middle Eastern countries
2009
Our study investigated the impact of ICT expansion on economic freedom in the Middle East (Bahrain, Iran, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen). Our empirical analysis used archival data from 1995 to 2005; it showed that ICT expansion in the Middle East has been effective both in bridging the digital divide and also in promoting economic freedom in a region that was vulnerable to political, social, and global conflict. However, differences between countries, such as the educational attainment of their citizens and institutional resistance to technology acceptance, both enhanced and restricted the relationship between ICT and economic fre…
Risk transmission between Islamic and conventional stock markets: A return and volatility spillover analysis
2017
Abstract This paper contributes to the current debate on the empirical validity of the decoupling hypothesis of the Islamic stock market from its mainstream counterparts by examining return and volatility spillovers across the global Islamic stock market, three main conventional national stock markets (the US, the UK and Japan) and a number of influential macroeconomic and financial variables over the period from July 1996 to June 2016. To that end, the VAR-based spillover index approach based on the generalized VAR framework developed by Diebold and Yilmaz (2012) is applied. The empirical analysis shows strong interactions in return and volatility among the global Islamic stock market, the…

Islam w Europie - między zagrożeniem a integracją
2020
W artykule nakreślono możliwe reperkusje większej obecności przedstawicieli islamu w Europie na początku XXI stulecia. Odsetek ten wzrósł z 2% w 1950 r. do 6% w 2020. W recepcji nowej fali napływu muzułmanów na Stary Kontynent przedstawiono przewidywane konsekwencje. Rozważono zaistnienie dwu scenariuszy. Jednym z nich jest narastające wciąż przekonanie o zagrożeniu ze strony rozwijającej się w Europie populacji wyznawców islamu. Innym możliwym rozwiązaniem jest ich sukcesywna integracja. Dla obu wersji przedstawiono wyraźne przesłanki opierające się na znanych faktach, decyzjach społeczno-politycznych, ratyfikowanych umowach oraz deklaracjach decydentów. Podjęto dyskusję z pojawiającymi si…
