"Conflict Management in Muslim World".. A New Release by MCE at Cairo Book Fair

The Muslim Council of Elders' stand at the Cairo International Book Fair showcases a number of its latest 2025 releases to visitors. Among these, the book 'Conflict Management in the Muslim World: Roots, Transformations, and Future Prospects,' authored by Idris Qasim and published by the Al Hokama Center for Peace Research, stands out.

This book aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of conflict, in terms of its various theoretical definitions and practical applications within the Muslim world, exploring its historical, social, political, and geopolitical dimensions. The goal is to offer a deep understanding of the nature of conflict as an integral part of human history and its manifestations in various forms across Muslim societies.

The book traces the evolution of conflicts through significant historical transformations—from the establishment of the Caliphate to modern nation-states—illustrating how these transformations have shaped current conflicts. It then reviews future scenarios, dedicating an important section of the book to forecasting future developments of conflict within the Muslim world. This involves utilizing scenario analysis techniques to predict possible paths based on the historical patterns of these conflicts and their current trends.

The book discusses the contribution of social interactions—ethnic, religious, and cultural—to the emergence, formation, and resolution of conflicts within the contexts of Muslim societies. The author calls for a multidisciplinary approach to the study of conflicts in the Muslim world, emphasizing the need to integrate insights from history, sociology, political science, and international relations to provide a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of these conflicts.
