Islam in International Relations: Politics and Paradigms, is to be launched on 15 January 2019. The second Co-IRIS-edited volume is published under the Routledge’s Worlding beyond the West series.

Islam in International Relations: Politics and Paradigms, edited by Dr Nassef Manabilang Adiong, Dr Raffaele Mauriello, and Dr Deina Abdelkader, analyses the interaction between Islam and international relations (IR).

The volume opens with the discussion of the international thought of a major Muslim leader, followed by a chapter that addresses the ethical practice of IR, from traditional pacifism to modern Arab political philosophy. It then argues that the ethnocentric approach of Western academia has hindered readers' understanding of world affairs. The ISIS phenomenon is also addressed, as well as Islamic geopolitics.

Co-IRIS aims to explore Islamic contributions to the field of international relations. The name stands for International Relations and Islamic Studies Research Cohort.
