Abstract:
In the context of the new world order, one of the major challenges to global economy lies in finding the most effective way of including Islam in 21st-century architecture. Globalization means increasing interdependences among national economies, whereas borders are becoming less and less visible. Will Islamic countries manage to integrate into this whole? Or on the contrary? Fighting against “uniformity” raises barriers increasingly difficult to surpass to everything the West refers to. Recent developments in Europe unfortunately demonstrate the proliferation of terrorism amid the major European immigration of Muslim population due to deepened domestic conflicts in some Islamic states. The growth of Muslim population in some EU countries has led to imposing certain restrictions on immigration, but nevertheless a steady growth of Muslim communities in Europe is estimated in the near future.
