''The purpose of this study is to analyze modern trends among Muslims concerning the problem of sovereignty. There have been remarbkable attempts by modern Muslim scholars to express Islamic theories of rulership, including sovereignty, in modern times. However, owing to the great impact Western notions of sovereignty have had on modern Muslim atttitudes, especially since the nineteenth century, this study starts with an examination of the origins of those Western theories. After examining Western sources, the study goes on to look at  the early Islamic ideas of rulership from which Muslims derive their inspiration. Thereafter, the modern Muslim view is provided in coverage thinkers from Turkey, Egypt and Pakistan, with speacial reference to contemporary movements of Islamic Reform.'' (Arka kapaktan)
