Indeks : p.311 - 320 p.305 - 310 The ideology and cultuture of Islamic regions has aroused renewed interest in the West since the oil crisis of the 1970s, the political events in Iran and the rise of 'fundamentalist' Islam. Oil wealth in some countries and extreme underdevelopment and depency in other countries have set the stage where Western influence has not been so great in the Middle East and Africa since the time of European colonialism. Yet in the face of tremendous cultural pressures to 'secularize' and 'westernize', Islamic institutions have stood fast and have resisted their transformation from the West and in certain ways have enjoyed a revival and a constructive re-examination. Islamic law, the Shari'a, is one such basic institution which has been subjected to a great deal of this pressure because its essence is religious belief applied to the practical problems and affairs of daily living.
