Abstract

An analysis of contemporary processes shows that the role of Islamic organizations and movements in international relations has gradually increased. Their activities have a certain influence on the internal socio-political environment of individual states, as well as foreign policy priorities and the development of socio-economic relations. In this regard, a comprehensive study of the prerequisites for the emergence of Islamic organizations and movements, ideological positions, political and economic resources, as well as forms of service and implementation systems is one of the topical directions of modern science. The current nature of global political and social processes shows that the role of Islamic organizations and movements in the public and international space is increasing. Their influence is not limited to international relations, but also affects the foreign policy strategies of individual states, as well as changes in social and economic spheres. The involvement of Islamic organizations in global processes is a conditional phenomenon.
