Sufism in Saudi Arabia since 1979 : The Politics of Orthodoxy in Contemporary Islam /
:
This is the first full-length monograph to explore Sufism in Saudi Arabia since 1979-a groundbreaking journey into a rarely seen side of the kingdom's religious life. Drawing on rich fieldwork, in-depth interviews with Sufi practitioners, and archival research, the book brings readers deep into the spiritual networks that persist beneath the surface of state-enforced Wahhabi orthodoxy. It traces a century of scholarly life in the Hejaz, follows transnational ties-especially those of the Ba ʿAlawi order-and uncovers stories of persecution, such as that of Muhammad Alawi al-Maliki. Timely and vivid, it also examines the profound religious shifts unfolding under the rule of Mohammed bin Salman.

Border Fears in the Baltic Sea Region since 1918 /
:
Collective fear is probably the most productive emotion in shaping international relations not only in short-term political decision-making processes, but also in the deeper layers of intercultural communication based on social and cultural memory. Taking into account the Baltic Sea Region as an area of multi-layered interdependencies, identities, and interests is the starting point to consider the emotional factors of international relations in this macro-region. Given the deep territorial changes in the Baltic Sea Region throughout the twentieth century, one of the most burning issues would concern political, geopolitical, cultural, ethnical, and linguistic borders. The multi-perspectivity of the volume including studies by historians, political scientists, and sociologists aims at casting a new light on bordering, de-bordering and re-bordering processes in the Baltic Sea Region since 1918.
