ABSTRACT
This chapter pulls all the strings together and relates the topic of area knowledge and its production to the notions of connectivity and global cooperation. It begins with an introduction of a notion that is called the 'behavioural dimensions of global cooperation'. The spatiality of emotion is probably one of the most intriguing aspects of global cooperation analysis of our time. The chapter then explores in how far religion and the commitment to a particular faith is a distinctive factor for assessing cooperation in the Muslim world as compared to global cooperation in the secular world. More precisely, It discusses religion as an element of the behavioural dimensions of interpersonal connectedness. The chapter concludes with a reflection of the challenges for knowledge production in contemporary academia, and the opportunities for addressing these challenges in assessments of interpersonal cooperation on a global level.
