Post Islamism: The Afghan Institute for Strategic Studies, George Washington University, DC

Post Islamism: Conceptual, Social, Political Trends & Policy Framework
The Afghan Institute for Strategic Studies (AISS) is announcing its inaugural conference on “Post-Islamism: Conceptual, Social, Political Trends & Policy Framework.” The conference will be held in partnership with the Elliott School of International Affairs, the Sigur Center for Asian Studies, and the Institute of Middle East Studies at George Washington University on September 26, 2024 (09:00 – 17:00) in Washington, D.C.

The conference will examine Post-Islamism within the broader context of global political, social, and economic trends, particularly in Muslim-majority countries and diaspora communities. The return of the Taliban, the aftermath of the Arab Spring, the ongoing Israel-Palestinian conflict, the rise of Muslim identity politics in Western nations, China’s growing influence, and the persistence of Islamist terrorism underscore the complexity of the contemporary Islamic world.

The conference seeks to foster critical dialogue, policy development, and public understanding of this critical issue by bringing together leading scholars, policymakers, activists, and practitioners. It will feature a keynote address by General H.R. McMaster, former US National Security Adviser, and panel discussions on various aspects of post-Islamism.
