Social Engineering Through Shari’A: Islamic Law And State-Directed Da’Wa In Contemporary Aceh, R. Michael Feener

Indonesia Law Review

This study of the contemporary Islamic legal system in Aceh, Indonesia argues for new attention to be paid to the ways in which contemporary Muslim agendas for the implementation of Islamic law can be read as projects for future oriented social transformation—rather than as a series of reactive measures to perceived ‘crises of modernity’ and/or the political machinations of rival elites in contesting control of state power.

Throughout that decade, the United States and many foreign countries debated and experimented with various forms of cryptography regulation, and attempts were made at international harmonization. Since then, however, policy-making activity around cryptography has slowed, if not halted altogether, leaving individuals and companies to face a bewildering array of regulations—or, in many cases, to face regulations that are extraordinarily unclear and haphazardly applied.

Leysser L. León

Se comentan críticamente algunas de las más controvertidas disposiciones contenidas en el reciente Reglamento de la Ley peruana de Protección de Datos Personales. Se echa de menos, en especial, y atendiendo a la labor reglamentaria del Ministerio de Justicia reflejada en este dispositivo, una actitud consciente de los funcionarios acerca la importancia de la tutela de la autodeterminación informativa en los países que, como el Perú, siguen sin resolver graves males sociales, como la discriminación.
