Introduction This book is a collaborative effort by the lecturers of the Department of International Relations, University of Darussalam Gontor. As editor, I gather my collegues at the Department to contribute chapters to the book. The response was encouraging. By March 2021, we were able to gather ten chapters. One major limitation of the book is the absence of a central theme that links all its chapters. In our contemporary age, which is fundamentally different in many ways, from the situation of the humanity during those past centuries - especially with the growth of Western ideological ‘globalization’ through satellite channels and internet and the intellectual, technological, economical and political influence and negative effect that this ‘globalization’ has on the Ummah, this ensures as Muslims, the need to have a fundamental review of general contemporary globalization, especially, at the International Relations arena. For, this globalization is born under the shade of those distortions and unpleasant practices and pressures. The reviews to these phenomena should be comprehensive and include all that relates to civilizational vision of the Ummah, its past methodologies of life and all the heritage laws relating to these methodologies. While making these reviews, its essence should be properly understood. The Qur’anic principles and their goals should be returned to, through an awareness that is religious, intellectual, social and structural, so that the Ummah’s thinking and its laws and orders will keep pace with new human cultural evolutions and their potentialities and challenges under the name of ‘globalization’. Through lively and informative exercise of independent judgment, the Islamic fundamentals could be defined, its goals could be clarified and its discourse could be reformed so that confusion could be avoided and fundamentals are not mixed with secondary matters, and the discourses, laws, and orders are not put in conditions, forms and expressions that are not suitable with the current reality of the Ummah and this age. It will be possible for Islamic discourses on International Relations, to always achieve the goals of the Qur’anic guidance and aspirations of the human nature irrespective of the difference in times and places.By addressing the specificities of particular regional and historical situations in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, this special issue highlights the dynamic and heterogeneous nature of contemporary identifications of globalization. Contributors of this book have successfully examined globalization as its engagement with the state, business and economics, security, history, fashion, and guided imagination from Islamic point of view. This book is an acknowledgement of contributions of the Department of International Relations to the department and progress of this University. Finally, we dedicate this book to our students, the real source of our pride and inspirations. Siman, Ponorogo
