Examining the trajectory of the secularization of Islam in Iran, this book explains how efforts to Islamize society led, self-destructively, to its secularization. The research engages a range of debates across different fields, emphasizing the political and epistemological instability of the basic categories such as Islam, Sharia, and secularism. The volume is an interdisciplinary study of both the history of Islamic revival and Khomeini’s very specific merger of Islamic law and mysticism. It traces back the process of secularization to the early encounter of Iranian intellectuals with Europeans and adoption of their fundamental framework in an Islamic guise. The process continued until the Islamic Revolution of Iran in 1979, when Khomeini tried to substantively de-secularize Iranian social imaginaries. His attempts were not followed up by his followers, who vigorously reinstated the previous trend, after his death, resulting in a polity that is mostly secular but with Islamic ornaments. Bringing together area studies (Iran), religious studies (Islam), and political theory (secularism), this interdisciplinary volume places findings in a broader narrative that is both specific to Iran and broad enough to engage a global readership.
Iranian cultural centers play a crucial role in expanding Iran’s influence beyond its borders, making them one of the country’s most significant assets. The importance of these centers is evident within the context of the Wilayat al-Faqih ideology, which is a critical part of Iranian foreign policy. With a complex mix of geopolitical, religious and sectarian factors at play, Iran seeks to become a dominant regional power. The Iranian government understands the importance of cultural centers in achieving these objectives and has invested heavily in their development. Iran’s global ambitions have sparked a profound interest in Iranian communities in Europe, extending beyond their traditional sphere of influence. In pursuit of their political and religious goals, Iran established cultural centers in Europe, which have been politicized to align with their foreign policy objectives. However, incidents associated with these centers raised alarm and prompted European authorities to probe into their activities. It is of utmost importance to scrutinize their role and assess whether they are linked to Iranian security and intelligence apparatuses, according to European governments. The significant nature of these centers and their potential impact on European security is comprehensively analyzed in this book.
This handbook focuses on the use of antibiotic alternatives in poultry and fish feed. Chapters in the book cover a range of natural ingredients in feed and the impacts of these natural feed additives on growth, production, reproduction and health status of poultry and fish. All chapters give a holistic approach to how organic feed additives (herbal plants and their extracts, probiotics, peptides, etc.) can positively impact animal health and production. Key Features: - presents 13 chapters contributed by 38 experts and scientists of animal, poultry and fish nutrition, poultry and fish physiology, toxicology, pharmacology, and pathology - highlights the significance of herbal plants and their extracts and derivatives, cold-pressed and essential oils and fruits by-products - covers the effects of special ingredients such as immunomodulators, antimicrobial peptides, and probiotics - provides the reader an updated perspective on the use of additives in poultry and fish industry as growth promoters and their role in developing bacterial resistance to antibiotics - covers the main poultry species, egg-laying hens, quails, geese, ducks, turkey, and commercial fish - includes references for advanced readers This book will be useful for poultry and fish keepers and researchers in animal nutrition, pharmacology, and veterinary sciences. Professionals involved in the poultry and fish feed industry will also find the information useful for product development.
