To Compete Globally, Brics Nations Need Reputation, Not Imitation, Ahmed E. SOUAIAIA University of Iowa

To Compete Globally, Brics Nations Need Reputation, Not Imitation, Ahmed E. Souaiaia

Ahmed E SOUAIAIA

The economic, political, and social rise of the Western block of nations was founded on the single most enduring currency: reputation. Reputation, the source of credibility and trust, is the real asset that allows the U.S. to project its stature around the world. BRICS nations cannot rise to prominence by mimicking developed countries. They must build their reputation first. Wealth is only a byproduct of this more precious commodity, and countries who have it can squander it just as emerging economies can acquire it. For either of those results to happen in any country, circumstantial conditions and principled actions ...

Repurposed Narratives: The Battle Of Ṣiffīn And The Historical Memory Of The Umayyad Dynasty, Aaron M. Hagler

The specific historians examined have been chosen in part because they demonstrate a ...

Ahmed E SOUAIAIA

As universities face revenues shortfalls due to national and global economic trends, administrators are forced to look for alternative funding streams. Some of the attractive options consist of creating satellite campuses in rich countries and accepting donors from individuals, corporations, and governments.

(Re)Arrangement Of State/Islam Relations In Egypt’S Constitutional Transition, Gianluca Paolo Parolin

New York University Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

After briefly framing state/shari‘ah relations in pre-2011 Egypt, the paper (1) describes the negotiations behind the (re)arrangement of shari‘ah-provisions in the new constitution, (2) analyzes the content of the new provisions in their Hegelian relation to the previous Supreme Constitutional Court jurisprudence—expounding on the complex articulation of the explanatory note to art. 2 (art. 219)—, and (c) considers the ramifications of the new arrangement, focusing on the impact of the mandatory referral to al-Azhar (art. 4).
