Year: 2012
Type: dissertation
Abstract: I want to use this opportunity to convey my heartfelt thanks to all those involved in helping me in the process of writing this thesis. First of all, I want to thank my supervisor, Professor Einar Thomassen, whom with his thorough knowledge and patience has helped, and guided me through many constructive hours of supervision. I also want to thank Senior Researcher, Anne K. Bang, at Christian Michelsen’s Instititute (CMI), Bergen, for inspiration and practical help with finding me a reading space. And also, I want to thank Professor Anders Klostergaard-Petersen, at University of Aarhus, who generously has given me constructive comments on a, then, unfinished work. I could not have done this without the help from all of you. I also want to thank the librarian at the Islamic Cultural Centre in London, for welcoming me into the library, and encouraging my writing. Thank you to my fellow RRE students in Bergen, and CMI student companions, for your company and support, and to my friends and family for their love and understanding. A big thank you to my dear parents, Terje and Lise, who are always there for me. To Mum, for your calm and loving being, and for always supporting me. To Dad, for your inspiration and encouragement of my pursuit of knowledge, and for your proof-reading of this paper. To Tore, my brother, for your interest, and care. I love you, all. And finally, thank you to my beloved Julian. You are the foundation in my life. I give you my heartfelt thank you for always believing in me, and your massive support when all has seemed overwhelming. You are my inspiration.
