ISIM Publications ISIM Review #18: Shades of Islamism

ISIM has released it’s 18th issue of ISIM Review; the last one I have worked on albeit my role is very minor in this one. Since June Mathijs Pelkmans is the new editor of the ISIM Review. The main theme of this issue is shades of islamism covering a wide range of topics regarding several strands of islamism. Again, a must-read-issue of ISIM Review (although I admit I’m not very objective).
