Introduction; Section I. THE CONCEPT AND EXECUTION OF "AUTHORITY" IN ISLAM: THEOLOGY AND POLITICAL THEORY; Chapter One. The Caliphate in Political Theory; Section II. THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT FILES AND THE APPROACH TO PAN-ISLAMIC GOVERNANCE; Chapter Two. The Cairo High Command and the "Caliphate Question," 1914-1919; Chapter Three. Post-War Part 1: Professor Arnold's 1918 Letter and the Khilafat Delegation Meetings 1918-1922; Chapter Four. Post-War Part 2: The Khilafat Discussions, 1920-1921; Chapter Five. Post-War Part 3: Government of India-India Office Correspondence 1922-1923.
Summary: The Caliphate Question combines the disciplines of theology, history, and international relations in order to approach the complex and sensitive issue of how Western governments_in this case the British_have historically engaged with foreign policy issues that have centered around questions of theology or faith. The British government's approach to policy-making in the field of Islamic governance from the First World War through to the early Cold War is the case study for this book, both because of the extensive documentation that exists on the period and because of its relevance to the current geo-political world. While the book is not a critique of current British foreign policy, it does seek to furnish policy-makers and commentators with a framework within which such increasingly necessary policy-making can be created.
