This is a new examination of how Sharia (TM)a law affects public
policy both theoretically and in practice, across a wide range of
public policy areas, including for example human rights and family
law.
The process by which public policy is decided - through
elections, debates, political processes, and political discourse -
has an additional dimension in the Islamic world. This is because
Shari'a (divine law) has a great deal to say on many mundane
matters of everyday life and must be taken into account in matters
of public policy. In addition, matters are complicated further by
the fact that there are differing interpretations of the Shari'a
and how it should be applied to contemporary social issues.
Written by leading experts in their field, this is the first
comprehensive single volume analysis of Islam and public policy in
the English language and offers further understanding of Islam and
its wider social and political implications.
