ISLAMIC COUNTRIES MODERNISATION PROCESS AND INFLUENCES ON GLOBAL SECURITY

Summary/Abstract: Modernisation in the Islamic world, from the perspective of the political life, according to many Western authors, is aimed at changing the political systems that govern the Islamic states and at adopting the Western model, the liberal democracy. However, the passing of Muslim societies with deeply rooted cultural and religious traditions to another type of political-economic-social organisation, in which the values specific to liberal democracies prevail, is not an easy process, the social turbulences not being totally eliminated from this approach. In the end, the effects of the Islamic world on global security are pointed out, succinctly referring to the problems existing in three Islamic states: Turkey, Iraq and Afghanistan in order to better reflect the relation between modernisation and security in the Islamic world.
