Triadic Legal Pluralism In North Sinai: A Case Study Of State, Shari'a, And 'Urf Courts In Conflict And Cooperation, Mara R. Revkin Jan 2014

Triadic Legal Pluralism In North Sinai: A Case Study Of State, Shari'a, And 'Urf Courts In Conflict And Cooperation, Mara R. Revkin

Faculty Scholarship

To the extent that legal scholars have addressed the post-authoritarian transitions underway in the Middle East, the scope of their work has been primarily confined to the formal infra-structure of state-manufactured law. Attention has focused on the activities of high courts, parliaments, and the administrative apparatus of official justice systems, while largely neglecting to acknowledge the importance of non-state institutions and systems of normative rules that operate in the shadow of modern bureaucratic governments. The concept of legal pluralism, defined as the coexistence of multiple legal or normative orders within a common geographical area, has been applied extensively in European, …


Islamic History & Al-Qaeda: A Primer To Understanding The Rise Of Islamist Movements In The Modern World, Andrew M. Bennett Apr 2013

Islamic History & Al-Qaeda: A Primer To Understanding The Rise Of Islamist Movements In The Modern World, Andrew M. Bennett

Pace International Law Review Online Companion

A decade following the 9/11 attacks, the objectives and motivations of Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda remain largely unknown to the American public. Since the mission of Al-Qaeda is embedded in its interpretation of the history and traditions of Islam, increased analysis on the intellectual framework of Al-Qaeda provides valuable insight into this dangerous ideology that will remain a strategic threat to the United States for the foreseeable future. While more recent successes against the Al-Qaeda organization have encouraged talk of “the end of Al-Qaeda,” the broader ideology remains alive and well. The rise in support for the Islamist groups …

Utilitarianism And Liberal Religious Approach And Islamic Corporations: Distortion Vs. Protection Of Classical Islamic Law, Nehal Brain Abd Elrahman

Theses and Dissertations

Utilitarianism and liberal religious approaches constitute two important results of Muhammed Abdou's project for modernizing Islamic law. Utilitarianism religious approach has dominated the Islamic legal field since the 19th century, the era of nationalist awakenings when Al-sanhurÄ« introduced his project on modernizing Islamic law.

Liberal religious approach started gaining importance lately by modern Islamic scholars as a result of the increasing modern problems that were never discussed by classical Islamic scholars.

Journal of International Women's Studies

The impact of the Code de la famille on Algerian women has been felt for 27 years and criticism of it is based on is supposed adherence to Sharī’ah. This is not an adequate assessment of this legal document or its amendments. It is a more complex issue that involves the attempt of society to re-define its identity as Algerian and Islamic after independence. In attempting to establish Algerian women’s identity there was a shift from fearless independent combatants who moved among men during the struggle for independence to a space for women as strictly wives and mothers within the …

A Value Oriented Legal Theory For Muslim Countries In The 21st Century: A Comparative Study Of Both Islamic Law And Common Law Systems, Rahma Hersi

The pluralistic nature of many of the extant legal systems, calls for an analysis of the interpretation of law and the related sciences. Whereas the spread of globalization in …

The Logic Of Legal Reasoning In Religious And Non-Religious Cultures: The Case Of Islamic Law And The Common Law, Wael B. Hallaq

Cleveland State Law Review

It is only reasonable to assume that dissimilar legal systems possess dissimilar patterns of legal reasoning. Inasmuch as two legal systems differ in their structure and function, they also differ in the types of arguments they employ in their service. It may well be argued that law is, in the final analysis, the product of the premises and methods from and through which it is derived. Two such legal systems which display a vast difference in their overall structure and function are Islamic law and the common law. This paper proposes to shed some light on the logic of legal …
