Abstract

Islamic political movements navigate the tension between tradition and modernity by responding to globalization, secularism, and social change through diverse strategies. These movements often critique secularism and the crisis of modernity, seeking to Islamize modern life by integrating Islamic principles into socio-political and cultural spheres without rejecting modernity itself. Some adopt radical approaches aiming for revolutionary change that redefines the relationship between tradition and modernity, while others pursue more inclusive, universalist discourses that engage with multicultural societies and global values. In contexts like Indonesia, Islamic movements adapt through integration as ideological forces, acculturation as cultural actors, and agency-structuring as political partners shaping social structures. The impact of globalization and technological advances compels these organizations to reform management practices, increase youth engagement, and balance Islamic identity with global norms. Overall, Islamic political movements represent a complex spectrum of responses that blend preservation of tradition with selective adoption of modern ideas to address contemporary challenges worldwide.
