Demystifying the Caliphate : Historical Memory and Contemporary Contexts
This volume is the fruit of a collaborative project funded by the European Science Foundation, which included scholars from eight countries and resulted in a new comprehensive analytical framework for studying this complex phenomenon. In addition to his role in coordinating the project and shaping and editing the volume with co-editors M. Al-Rasheed and C. Kersten, Shterin made the following research contributions to the volume:
Chapter, co-authored with Akhmet Yarlykapov,
‘The Caliphate in the Minds and Practices of Young Muslims in the Northern Caucasus’, pp. 247-271.
Co-authored Introduction: ‘The Caliphate: Nostalgic Memory and Contemporary Visions’, by M. Al-Rasheed, C. Kersten, and M. Shterin, pp. 1-30.
Shterin's unique contribution to the Introduction and overall theoretical framework of the volume focuses on the manifestations of the idea of Caliphate in contemporary Western Europe and Russia and the reasons for its appeal to the younger generation of Muslims.
