Reformation and Development in the Muslim World
This book explores how the recent development of Muslim countries as a group has fallen far short of non-Muslim countries, which, some have concluded, may be a result of Islamic teachings. The authors examine Muslim countries over time, viewing their progression on the Islamicity scale. They assess why some countries have done better than others, and to derive useful policy recommendations to improve political, social, human, governance and economic performance.
The Three Village Boys of Al Haidar
Nine-year-olds Youssef, Zayyed, and Omar have never travelled outside their little community of Al-Haidar, so when Youssef suggests that they do some exploring, the friends eagerly set off, each intending to visit a nearby village and report back to the others. What the boys discover is that although all the villages are within walking distance, they are distinctly different from one another and from their own Al-Haidar. Zayyed is puzzled to see that everyone in the village he visits seems angry and gruff, occupied with making weapons. In the crowded marketplace of the second village, Omar can t help but notice that some people are very prosperous, whereas the others are miserable. Meanwhile...
Conceptions of Justice from Islam to the Present
This book explains a perspective on the system of justice that emerges in Islam if rules are followed and how the Islamic system is differentiated from the conventional thinking on justice. It examines conceptions of justice from the Enlightenment to Bentham to Rawls to contemporary philosophers including Sen, Cohen, Nussbaum, and Pogge. The authors present the views of twentieth century Muslim thinkers on justice who see Muslims upholding rituals but not living according to Qur’anic rules. It provides empirical surveys of the current state of justice in Muslim countries analyzing the economic, social, and political state of affairs. The authors conclude by assessing the state of justice-injustice in Muslim countries and highlighting areas in need of attention for justice to prevail.
The Political Economy and Islam of the Middle East
This book analyzes the political economy of the MENA region with a focus on pre-revolutionary political and economic conditions, the 2011 revolution itself, and post-revolutionary political processes in Tunisia. The author places particular emphasis on the political role of women, Islam, and democracy after the revolution, and argues that post-Revolution Tunisia serves as an ideal model for the MENA region to follow. This volume will interest scholars, students, researchers, and everyone who is interested in the politics of MENA and political economy.
Handbook of Analytical Studies in Islamic Finance and Economics
This handbook offers a unique and original collection of analytical studies in Islamic economics and finance, and constitutes a humble addition to the literature on new economic thinking and global finance. The growing risks stemming from higher debt, slower growth, and limited room for policy maneuver raise concerns about the ability and propensity of modern economies to find effective solutions to chronic problems. It is important to understand the structural roots of inherent imbalance, persistence-in-error patterns, policy and governance failures, as well as moral and ethical failures. Admittedly, finance and economics have their own failures, with abstract theory bearing little relation...
Methodology of Islamic Economics
In its pursuit to equip the reader with a basic knowledge of Islamic economics, this book divulges the micro-foundations of the discipline, and highlights the predominant schools of thought that exist in the field. It explains, in simple terms, what Islamic economics entails and how it can be studied as a science in relation to the Holy Quran, the Sunnah and the Islamic intellectual tradition based on these two sources. The book familiarizes the reader with knowledge of the basic maxims of the discipline. It then establishes the arguments that are presented by the proponents of religion-based economics, specifically Islam, and apprises readers about the aforementioned schools as they exist. ...
NKRI Bersyariah atau Ruang Publik yang Manusiawi?
Buku ini bermula dari sebuah keprihatinan. Lingkaran Survei Indonesia (LSI) DennyJA melakukan survei analisis pro-Pancasila. Ternyata persentase publik pro-Pancasila terus menurun. Pada 2005, publik yang pro-Pancasila mencapai 85,2%. Tetapi tahun 2018 menjadi 75,3%. Jadi dalam waktu 13 tahun, jumlah publik yang pro-Pancasila menurun 10% Berangkat dari situasi semacam itu, sebagai intelektu-al Denny JA menulis esai yang beredar luas di media sosial. Esainya yang berjudul "NKRI Bersyariah atau Ruang Publik yang Manusiawi?" terasa sangat menggugah. Buku ini merupakan kumpulan tulisan dari 21 pakar, yang mewakili berbagai bidang keilmuan dan minat. Mereka merasa perlu menanggapi gagasan Denny JA dari berbagai macam perspektif. Diharapkan, sumbangan pemikiran dari para pakar itu bisa membantu memperkaya pemikiran kita. Yakni, untuk memperoleh kejelasan arah gerak bangsa ke depan, serta "membangkitkan kembali" Pancasila di tengah tantangan zamannya.
INGATAN YANG DIABAIKAN: ISLAM, KEKERASAN, DAN NASIONALISME
Lahirnya sebuah karya, apa pun itu bentuknya, sering kali memiliki konteks tertentu yang melatarbelakanginya. Maksud konteks ini bisa peristiwa, kondisi politik, ataupun perubahan sosial-ekonomi, baik secara makro atau mikro yang dilihat, diamati, dibaca, ataupun justru dialami oleh penulis atau pembuatnya. Karena itu, saya percaya sebuah kalimat bahwa sebuah karya tidak akan pernah lahir dari ruang kosong, melainkan ada latar belakang momentum yang membuat orang tergerak untuk mengekspresikannya ke dalam pelbagai bentuk representasi, seperti film, puisi, novel, ataupun karya akademik. Kumpulan tulisan yang dijadikan buku ini merupakan bentuk observasi, respons, refleksi, sekaligus gugatan s...
Rumah Bersama Kita Bernama Indonesia
Aksi terorisme sebetulnya bukan fenomena baru di dunia dan juga di Indonesia. Penggunaan kekerasan atau ancaman kekerasan terhadap sasaran sipil non-kombatan dengan motif ideologi atau politik sudah terjadi sejak lama di berbagai belahan dunia. Motif fenomena ini beragam. Mulai dari etnonasionalis separatisme, ideologis atau faham tertentu termasuk penyalahgunaan ajaran agama, hingga hal yang lebih ringan seperti anti aborsi dan sebagainya. Dalam ilmu strategi perang, terorisme bahkan digunakan untuk mengalahkan lawan. Terutama lawan yang lebih kuat (asimetris). Dengan menggunakan sumber daya minimum menyerang sasaran sipil lawan yang lemah akan menimbulkan dampak ketakutan luas dikalangan publik lawan sehingga mendegradasi wibawa pemerintahan lawan.
