Nathan Brown's penetrating account of the development and operation
of the courts in the Arab world is based on fieldwork in Egypt and
the Gulf. The book addresses several important questions. Why, for
example, did Egypt's political leaders construct an independent
judicial system that limited their own authority? And why does such
a system appeal to Arab rulers outside Egypt? While most accounts
stress the role of imperialism or liberal ideology, the author
maintains that the primary purpose of the system is to provide
support for the officially sanctioned order. The model offers
similar attractions for other Arab rulers. From the theoretical
perspective, the book will contribute to the debates about liberal
legality, political change and the relationship between law and
society in the developing world. It will be read by scholars of the
Middle East, law students and those interested in the history of
law and its evolution.
