Islam and International Law

Islam and International Law explores the multi-faceted relationship of Islam and international law. Current debates on Sharia, Islam and the West often suffer from prejudice and platitudes. The book seeks to engage such self-centrism by providing a plurality of perspectives, both in terms of interdisciplinary research and geographic backgrounds." This collection of articles addresses a broad range of ideas, issues and themes on an area of increasing importance and global relevance. This collection is a unique one in its approach which is truly inter-disciplinary and inclusive. Authors are from a variety of disciplines and at different levels and stages of their academic careers. They bring a rich array of perspectives, methodologies and approaches and are complementary. A book dedicated to Islamic international law and international law offering such a rich scholarship is indeed commendable. Prof. S. Sardar Ali, Warwick School of Law.
