JOURNAL OF ISLAM AND CHRISTIAN-MUSLIM RELATIONS
CALL FOR PAPERS
SPECIAL THEME: REFLECTIONS ON THE ARAB SPRING
For over twenty years Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations has been
one of the leading
peer‐reviewed academic journals providing a forum for the academic
exploration and discussion
of the religious tradition of Islam, and relations between Islam and
other religions.
The journal seeks to provide a very timely turn‐around time on
articles submitted. The editorial
team is currently considering articles for publication in its special
thematic issue titled
“Reflections on the Arab Spring” to appear in October 2012.
The journal is edited by members of the Department of Theology and
Religion of Birmingham
University (Birmingham, United Kingdom) and the Centre for Islam and
the Modern World of
Monash University (Melbourne, Australia).
The journal is soliciting submissions based on a call for articles
offering reflections on the Arab
spring, and particularly on:
• Islamic social movements and political reform
• Muslim society pluralism and minority communities
• Islam and democracy
• Islamist politics
Articles should be sent to editor Professor Greg Barton
((greg.barton /at/ monash.edu)), associate
editor Dr Irfan Ahmad ((irfan.ahmad /at/ monash.edu)) with copy to editorial
assistant Virginie
Andre ((virginie.andre /at/ monash.edu)), in the form of e‐mail attachments
in simple Word format.
For purposes of anonymity through the refereeing stages, the title
alone should appear at the
beginning, and references elsewhere that might lead to easy
identification of the author should
be omitted. All articles should be prefaced by an abstract of 150-200
words. The author's postal
and e‐mail addresses, together with brief biographical details of
about 50 words, should appear
on a separate page. All pages should be numbered. Articles should be
approximately 10,000
words in length (articles shorter than 9,000 words and longer than
12,000 words will not be
considered), including references, appendices, tables and figures.
Footnotes to the text should be
avoided wherever possible.
Articles which the editors judge to have merit will be sent
anonymously to two referees, and
authors may be asked for changes and adjustments in the light of the
referees' reports.
Further instructions for authors regarding style guidelines,
referencing and templates are
available at:

Papers should be submitted by 24 April 2012.
***Note to Authors: please make sure your contact address information
is clearly visible on the
outside of all packages you are sending to Editors. ***
