Return of medievalism in Middle East
2012-04-30
The medievalism of the Ummah as opposed to that of Christendom. One forgets to think that they were different, though contemporaneous.
Medievalism in this context is the return of tribal, religious and sectarian political formations and other political forms to replace the nation-state order and its institutions.
