Revolution Unending
Om de politiske forhold i Afghanistan i perioden 1979 til nu
Democracy under God
The place of Islam in constitutions invites fierce debate from scholars and politicians alike. Many of these debates assume an inherent conflict between constitutional Islam and 'secular' values of liberal democracy and human rights. Using case studies from several Muslim-majority states, this book surveys the history and role of Islam in constitutions. Tracing the origins of constitutional Islam, Dawood Ahmed and Muhammad Zubair Abbasi argue that colonial history and political bargaining were pivotal factors in determining whether a country adopted Islam, and not secularism, in its constitution. Contrary to the common contention that the constitutional incorporation of Islam is generally antithetical to human rights, Ahmed and Abbasi show not only that Islam has been popularly demanded and introduced into constitutions during periods of 'democratization' and 'modernization' but also that constitutional Islamization has frequently been accompanied by an expansion in constitutional human rights.
Constitutionalism in Context
With its emphasis on emerging and cutting-edge debates in the study of comparative constitutional law and politics, its suitability for both research and teaching use, and its distinguished and diverse cast of contributors, this handbook is a must-have for scholars and instructors alike. This versatile volume combines the depth and rigor of a scholarly reference work with features for teaching in law and social science courses. Its interdisciplinary case-study approach provides political and historical as well as legal context: each modular chapter offers an overview of a topic and a jurisdiction, followed by a case study that simultaneously contextualizes both. Its forward-looking and highly diverse selection of topics and jurisdictions fills gaps in the literature on the Global South as well as the West. A timely section on challenges to liberal constitutional democracy addresses pressing concerns about democratic backsliding and illiberal and/or authoritarian regimes.

The dictionary section has more than 1,000 cross-referenced entries on important personalities as well as aspects of the country’s politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture.

La révolution afghane
Depuis plus de vingt ans, l'Afghanistan est plongé dans une interminable guerre civile. Au coup d'État communiste de 1978 et à la violence des jeunes élites urbaines a répondu la révolte de la société, mobilisée au nom du jihâd contre un gouvernement athée et, bientôt, contre l'occupant soviétique. Des centaines de " commandants " à la tête de groupes de combattants mènent alors la lutte contre le pouvoir soviéto-afghan. Le retrait soviétique, achevé en 1989, puis l'effondrement du régime communiste n'ont pas ramené la paix. La guerre a désormais pour enjeu la redéfinition et le contrôle du pouvoir central. Loin des habituels lieux communs sur les " guerres ethniques ...
