I was welcomed by the magical city of Rovaniemi in the year 2006, on March the 4th, when the right combination of winter spirit, mixed with the exquisite sceneries of pine and birch, lled me with joy. Rovaniemi is a sparsely-populated Arctic city in which many northern days are full of snow and ice, and those sunless days produced a melancholic feeling in me at the beginning of my arrival. However, experiencing the midnight sun during the northern summer and witnessing the dancing of the Northern Lights sometimes lled the gap of my homesickness. Over time, I received support from many sources, for which I am eternally grateful; there are several that I would like to acknowledge further. e support of formal, informal and non-formal actors, sectors, friend circles, and associates eased my integration over the course of time. Immediately after nalising my language path, I started my entrepreneurial path, which I found tedious after a certain period of time. Commencing my job at MoniNet, a multicultural centre, I had the privilege to work with immigrants, which then inspired my interest to study the topic of the integration of immigrants. My few months’ internship with Anne-Mari Suopajärvi at the Centre of Economic Development, Transport and Environment cemented my path to conduct my doctoral dissertation at the University of Lapland in December 2011. Commencing my studies in 2012 at the Northern Political Economy research group, a research cluster of the Arctic Centre, I had the privilege of meeting Monica Tennberg, who became my supervisor. Over the course of my doctoral studies, Monica acted as my primary supervisor, and in fact the title of my dissertation was suggested by Monica as one of the research questions of my dissertation at that time. Monica contributed greatly to the various development phases of the dissertation, not only with her willingness to review, discuss, and improve my drafts, academic writing skills, and theoretical understanding, but also in her ability to encourage me to continue my research. During this journey, the Sustainable Development Research/NPE group continually supported my work. For this, I primarily acknowledge Monica Tennberg and her research team. Professor Markku Vieru, Dr Saara Koikkalainen, Dr Mika Luoma- aho, Professor Julian Reid and Dr Merja Paksuniemi have contributed to my progress in many ways and have been supervising me by providing valuable and constructive suggestions. I would like to extend my thanks to them. en I shifted my research group and became a fellow of the Arctic Governance research cluster in the year 2015, where Professor Timo Koivurova, the Director of the Arctic Centre and leader of the above-mentioned research cluster, supported me in various phases of the advanced stages of my dissertation. Gradually I became acquainted with Professor Elli Heikkilä, a research professor at the Migration Institute in Turku, and she became another supervisor. e ocial supervisors of my dissertation are Timo Koivurova and Elli Heikkilä, who have greatly contributed to the various development phases of the dissertation and the defence process as well as ensuring the quality of the work. For this, I give many thanks to them for their patience, motivation and immense knowledge, insightful comments and guidance, which motivated me to widen my research knowledge from various points of view. e Arctic Centre’s encouraging work environment and my colleagues have supported me in many ways. In this regard, I would like to primarily thank Riitta-Liisa Heikkinen-Moilanen for providing all kinds of assistance in the Arctic Centre. I also extend my gratitude to my colleagues Osmo Rätti, Riitta Aikio, Tuija Katerma, Pertti Leinonen, the IT team of the Arctic Centre, Johanna Westerlund, Ilona Mettiäinen, Susanna Pääkkölä, Dr Stefan Krichner and Pirjo Kleemola-Juntunen. I would like to give my special thanks to Joonas Vola, with whom I shared an oce for several years, and also to Marjo Lindorth, Heidi Sinnevaara-Niskanen, Marjo Laukkanen, Arto Viitikka, Arto Kiurujoki, Markku Heikkilä, Raija Kivilahti and Assi Harkoma, Hanna Lempinen, Susanna Pirnes, Eeva Maija Myllylä, Minna Turunen, and Adrian Braun for encouraging my work. In the year 2014, I established an immigrant-led association with the full support of Riitta Kemppainen-Koivisto, whom I would like to thank for her encouragement and for always being beside me and encouraging my work, translating my media articles and weeping when I delivered some emotional speeches before the public. I give my thanks to the executive board of this immigrant-led association for valuing my research materials by giving me the opportunity to conduct ethnographic observation. I would like to thank my respondents for their precious support that fuelled the beginnings of my research. A common albeit important concern for any doctoral student is sources of funding. I have been fortunate to have gained support from various establishments over the course of my studies. I commenced my doctoral studies with the nancial support of a project funded by the European Social Fund, and a later project funded by the Yrjö Uiton Säätiö, Ella ja Georg Ehrnroothin Säätiö and Osker Öunds Stiftelse. Many thanks go to Koninklijke Brill NV for publishing Article I (e Year Book of Polar Law) in 2013, to Sage for Article VI in 2017, the University of Rajshahi for Article III in 2016, EBER for Article IV in 2016 and the University of Lapland Press for Article II in 2012 and for granting me permission to reuse those articles in my dissertation. My sincere gratitude to Paula Kassinen and her team for their dedicated work to publish my dissertation within a short period of time at the Lapland University Press. In 2013, I rst received my research status position at the ARKTIS Graduate School, and some of my research travel has been supported by the ARKTIS. In addition to this, I also received several travels grant from the University International and UARCTIC Units. I would therefore like to thank both the ARKTIS Graduate School and its co-ordinator, Päivi Soppela, and Director of the UArctic unit, Outi Snellman, for her outstanding co-operation and encouragement. I would like to thank Outi Snellman and Timo Koivurova for their support in giving constructive suggestions for the establishment of the UArctic ematic Network on Arctic Migration. I subsequently received a grant from the Rector of the University of Lapland (Rector’s Grant), as well as an award from our honourable rector Professor Mauri Ylä-Kotola. I would like to express

  • Islamic Psychology
    Islamic Psychology Islamic Psychology or ilm an-nafs (science of the soul) is an important introductory textbook drawing on the latest evidence in the sub-disciplines of psychology to provide a balanced and comprehensive view of human nature, behaviour and experience. Its foundation to develop theories about human nature is based upon the writings of the Qur’an, Sunnah, Muslim scholars and contemporary research findings. Synthesising contemporary empirical psychology and Islamic psychology, this book is holistic in both nature and process and includes the physical, psychological, social and spiritual dimensions of human behaviour and experience. Through a broad and comprehensive scope, the book addresses three main areas: Context, perspectives and the clinical applications of applied psychology from an Islamic approach. This book is a core text on Islamic psychology for undergraduate and postgraduate students and those undertaking continuing professional development courses in Islamic psychology, psychotherapy and counselling. Beyond this, it is also a good supporting resource for teachers and lecturers in this field. Dr G. Hussein Rassool is Professor of Islamic Psychology, Consultant and Director for the Riphah Institute of Clinical and Professional Psychology/Centre for Islamic Psychology, Pakistan. He is accountable for the supervision and management of the four psychology departments, and has responsibility for scientific, educational and professional standards, and efficiency.

Welcome to the Guest Editors When I first spoke to Lesley Klaff about the possibility of JSA hosting ESA conference papers, I was not exactly certain what was involved. For several years, ESA’s roster of paper presentations was top notch and often included key conceptualizations not found elsewhere. I wanted to make certain that some of the field’s best thinkers were receiving their due. JSA was located in North America, ESA was located in Europe and the gap needed to be bridged. My appreciation to Karin Stoegner and her team for their perseverance in making such fine work available to others. The papers have in common a distinct European flavor—they are nuanced and contextual driven. Except for David Patterson, the authors are European offering their perspective from what has become ground zero in displays of the new antisemitism. Europe is also ground zero for the old antisemitism and the context of the Holocaust affords certain insights that North Americans have yet to fully understand.

  • A Prismatic Inquiry Into Sweden's Anti-Muslim Movement
    © COPYRIGHT by Elizabeth Pearce 2013 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ALLAH IN VALHALLA: A PRISMATIC INQUIRY INTO SWEDEN’S ANTI-MUSLIM MOVEMENT BY Elizabeth Pearce ABSTRACT Violence and discrimination against Muslims and immigrants from countries with a Muslim majority is a pervasive problem that is becoming entrenched in Western societies. Sweden, often considered a bastion of peace and tolerance, is experiencing the escalation of violence against these populations coupled with a growing movement to institutionalize anti- Muslim sentiments through government policy. This study explores literatures across disciplines and perspectives across cleavages to analyze the issues and processes that contribute to violence and those that promote the peaceful resolution of Sweden’s conflict. Using a combination of methodological approaches, interviews were conducted with relevant actors to bolster the analysis by exploring the sources and drivers of conflict as individuals within the conflict context conceive them. Analysis of relevant government policies and programming is also included, with a conclusion that recommends enhancing the incorporation of established theories from the field of peace and conflict resolution in policy and social programs. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Throughout this project I had the honor of working with the incredible faculty and staff of the International Peace and Conflict Resolution program at the School of International Service who furnished me with the skills I needed to holistically approach this important topic. In particular, I would like to thank my thesis advisors, Lynn Kunkle and Shadi Mokhtari, for sharing with me their extensive knowledge and unending support throughout the various stages of my research. I must also extend the utmost gratitude to the individuals in Sweden who eagerly participated in interviews for this project, sharing their thoughts and feelings on some very sensitive issues for the benefit of the research.

A series of events such as the September 11 terrorist attacks against the US, the murder of Theo van Gogh in the Netherlands, the Madrid and London bombings and the debate on the Prophet Mohammed cartoons have given further prominence to the situation of Muslim communities. The central question is how to avoid stereotypical generalisations, how to reduce fear and how to strengthen cohesion in our diverse European societies while countering marginalisation and discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion or belief. European Muslims are a highly diverse mix of ethnicities, religious affiliation, philosophical beliefs, political persuasion, secular tendencies, languages and cultural traditions, constituting the second largest religious group of Europe’s multi-faith society.

  • ON the DYNAMICS of RADICAL-RIGHT PARTIES in EUROPE by Nicolas Dimitri Tewfik Bichay
    FROM RISE TO RULE: ON THE DYNAMICS OF RADICAL-RIGHT PARTIES IN EUROPE By Nicolas Dimitri Tewfik Bichay A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Political Science|Doctor of Philosophy 2021 ABSTRACT FROM RISE TO RULE: ON THE DYNAMICS OF RADICAL-RIGHT PARTIES IN EUROPE By Nicolas Dimitri Tewfik Bichay Why have we seen such a dramatic rise of radical-right parties recently, and what have the consequences been? This dissertation traces the three main stages of the rising radical- right: first, how have they been succeeding in elections? Second, after winning election, why is their participation in government coalitions becoming more common? And third, what have the substantive effects of this government participation been on the quality and stability of liberal democracy? I begin by examining the dynamics of the radical-right's electoral success in relation to the rising trend of publicly funding electoral campaigns at the national level. While public financing is often thought of as a way to \level the playing field” of elections, I argue that such policies have had unintended second-order consequences by disproportionately aiding the rise radical-right parties. I further demonstrate that this public funding policy severs the tie of radical-right performance to economic growth. This is a counter-intuitive result, as public campaign finance is often considered a priority of the left to restore power to the majority, and yet, it seems to aid those on the right fringes of the political spectrum. Given this increased electoral success, chapter two investigates why these parties have found themselves in more and more governing coalitions recently.

  • Wellbeing of Transnational Muslim Families
    Wellbeing of Transnational Muslim Families This book examines the needs, aspirations, strategies, and challenges of transnational Muslim migrants in Europe with regard to family practices such as marriage, divorce, and parenting. Critically re-conceptualizing ‘wellbeing’ and unpacking its multiple dimensions in the context of Muslim families, it investigates how migrants make sense of and draw on different norms, laws, and regimes of knowledge as they navigate different aspects of family rela- tions and life in a transnational social space. With attention to issues such as registration of marriage, civil versus religious marriage, spousal roles and rights, polygamy, parenting, child wellbeing, and everyday security, the authors offer national and comparative case studies of Muslim families from different parts of the world, covering different family bonds and relations, within both extended and nuclear families. Based on empirical research in the Nordic region and further afield, this volume affords a more complete understanding of the practices of transna- tional migrant families, as well as the processes through which family rela- tions and rights are negotiated between family members and with state institutions and laws, whilst contributing to the growing literature on migrant wellbeing. As such, it will appeal to scholars of sociology and social policy with interests in migration and transnational communities, wellbeing, and the family.
