Od walki klas do zderzenia cywilizacji. Geopolityka i ekonomia polityczna islamofobii
From Class Struggle to the Clash of Civilizations: Geopolitics and the Political Economy of Islamophobia

Summary/Abstract: This article attempts to outline the economic and political framework as well as the historical formation of contemporary Islamophobia. The author shows that it took place at two levels, geopolitical and internal. This process is part of the crisis of Western hegemony within the global capitalist system, and the structural economic crisis of capitalism. Islamophobia turns out to be a functional crisis management tool. First, it is an element that legitimizes imperialist policy, creating the image of a new enemy of the West. Second, it is an instrument of the neoliberal “divide and rule” policy designed to subordinate certain classes in Europe and North America.
