Medani, K. , 2004-03-17 "Globalization, Informal Markets and the Rise of Islamic Extremism: Giving Some Context to the Attacks of 9/11" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the International Studies Association, Le Centre Sheraton Hotel, Montreal, Quebec, Canada <Not Available>. 2009-05-26 from http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p72314_index.html

Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: My paper examines two key questions directly related to attacks of 9/11: How popular a force is militant Islam, and how is it distinguishable from more conservative forms of Islamic ativism? And, does political Islam represent an intractable clash of civilizations, or is rooted in locally embedded, but globally linked, economic and social forces? Drawing on extensive field research (including interviews with members of militant Islamist organizations)in Egypt, my paper argues that rise of Islamic extremism is largely a result of drastic societal transformations rooted in the rapid expansion of informal markets generated by global economic forces. More specifically, I locate the evolution of Islamic militancy in the way that Islamic militants were successful in establishing a monopoly over informal land, labor and financial markets and utilzing their political coalition to control competition, albeit through highly coercive and violent means.
