Transnational factors affecting national identities constitute a challenge for social sciences. Islam in particular exemplifies the articulation of local issues with global processes. This phenomenon is here analysed in terms of the constructive capacities of social agents at different levels of cultural reality. Focus falls in particular on three diverse articulations : integration/isolation, dispersion/concentration, globalisation/localisation.
