  abstract  = {The author distinguishes between three types of Islamic states. A first type uses Islam as political legitimation (Saudi Arabia). In contrast, the second type uses Islam merely as a political framework. In Iran, for instance, religious values are maintained while at the same time democratic elements, such as elections, can be found. Egypt is mentioned as an example of the third type of state that ranges between a secular and a religious political system. Looking at the modernization process in Egypt more closely, the author claims that without good governance the efforts of the state will be useless and religious extremism may dominate.},

  abstract  = {In December 2003, the Orient-Occident Forum for Intercultural Exchange at the University of Potsdam and the academic partnership program Potsdam-Teheran held a week-long conference, titled „Comparing Processes of Modernization", which was attended by many social scientists from Egypt, Iran and Germany. In this issue, some of the contributions of the conference are published and commented. During the course of the conference, an intercultural discourse - „beyond the line" - concerning the responsibilities and development prospects of modernization theory took place. In their article, the organizers of the meeting try to systematically summarize these discussions and present some further reflections.},

  abstract  = {Wer ist schon gegen Dialog? Und wenn es gar um jenen zwischen Orient und Okzident geht, ist der Applaus sicher. Neugier auf das Fremde, das zugleich Nutzen bringen kann, ist der Antrieb; Achtung vor dem Anderen die Basis. Aber oft ist dies mit falschen Hoffnungen, Fehlwahrnehmungen und Klischees verbunden, die in fataler Weise auch jene Ideologien hervorbringen, die imperiale Politik stets ben{\"o}tigt. Wenn ein gewisser Ulrich Jasper Seetzen, der zu den Begr{\"u}ndern der Orientalistik hierzulande z{\"a}hlt, am Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts in sein Tagebuch notierte, „daß die Orientalen eben sowohl Menschen sind, als wir", so wirft dies ein Licht auf europ{\"a}isches Denken jener Zeit. Jedoch lohnt die Erinnerung an diesen Satz auch heute und hier. Huntingtons provozierende, weil vereinfachende These vom Clash of Civilizations ist mittlerweile abendl{\"a}ndischer Zeitgeist, der nicht nur im Boulevard Unterschlupf findet. Wenn in diesen Zeiten arabische, persische und deutsche Intellektuelle {\"u}ber „die Moderne", jenes zutiefst westliche Konzept, miteinander reden und dies auch noch in Potsdam, so ist das bemerkenswert. WeltTrends bietet die Chance, diesen Dialog in der aktuellen Ausgabe nachzuvollziehen.},

  abstract  = {There have been three main phases of political discourse in recent Iranian history. A paternalistic era was accompanied by a phase of absolutistic rule during the Qagar dynasty. This phase was followed by a forced modernization, when the Shah of Iran expanded his absolutistic rule and established a dictatorship. With the Islamic Revolution of 1979, a new phase of political discourse emerged with a tendency towards religious traditionalism. The author states that religion and democracy are not in opposition. However, there is need for dialogue between the East and the West.},
