This book examines the options for adopting an appropriate model of
the exchange rate determination and its associated regime suitable
for developing countries, with a case study of Indonesia. It
examines exchange rate issues, develops market based, equilibrium
and shadow pricing exchange rate models for developing countries,
and suggests a suitable approach which is based on the
consideration of all these three types of models and the choice of
its associated exchange rate regime. This book shows that a
credible exchange rate regime and policy, which reduces uncertainty
in the exchange rate market, may mitigate the flight to currency
from broad money, and ensure the stability and certainty for
private sectors, especially in terms of export competitiveness.
The impacts of climate change on economic development have the
potential to be unevenly distributed around the globe. This book
focuses on South East Asia with respect to the economics of climate
change and the relationship between climate change and economic
development. The book examines the region's vulnerability to the
impacts of climate change, forecasts the environmental and economic
outcomes for the region arising from its vulnerability and also the
opportunities these factors provide for policy actions towards
alleviating climate change vulnerability, particularly through
adaptation.
"Proto-Salafist" 14th-century theologian Ibn Taymiyya is recognized
as the intellectual forefather of contemporary Salafism and
Jihadism. This volume offers a unique approach to the study of Ibn
Taymiyya, by offering an English translation of his fundamental
political treatise, The Office of Islamic Government, and shorter
collections from The Collected Fatwas and The Prophetic Way, and
Islamic Governance in Reconciling between the Ruler and the Ruled.
The volume not only sheds light on these primary sources through
translation and annotation, but also offers a theoretical analysis
of Ibn Taymiyya's thought and how his legal views can be reconciled
with current trends in Islamic political theory. The analysis
provides an overview of Ibn Taymiyya's geopolitical context, and
includes an original study of his normative political thought. In
examining the contemporary implications of Ibn Taymiyya's political
theology, the authors explore his doctrine of the Islamic state in
the context of Islamic decolonial theory. Islam and the State in
Ibn Taymiyya will appeal to academics in the fields of political
science and religious studies, particularly within the field of
Islamic history.

After the rise of the Islamic State of Syria and Levant (ISIL), the
world has been debating over an old issue, characterised by some as
the clash of civilisations. Jihad, the Arabic term for struggle,
was the target and Islamic terrorism and Islamic fascism became the
popularised terms of the post-9/11 era. The following discourse has
formed two theories attempting to define Islam and the role of
Jihad in Islam. The first is that of the apologists that define
Jihad as an internal struggle; the second sponsors the concept of
offensive Jihad. In this book, existing theories are deconstructed
to establish that there is no such thing as offensive Jihad or
internal Jihad. Debunking both branches of political thought was
possible using a cognition tool derived from the education system
instituted by the Prophet Muhammad, the central figure of this
controversy. The deconstruction is then followed up with an
examination of an actual historical case, vis. the wars for Islam
at the time of The Prophet as well as during the four rightly
guided Caliphs. By doing so, this book systematically eliminates
all confusion regarding Jihad. By addressing the fundamental
premises involved in both sides of this controversy, the book
develops an analytical tool that is free from dogmatic assertions
and ensuing contradictions, eventually defining the significance of
this analysis for a properly balanced understanding of Islamic
foreign policy and Shariah law. A clear directive is produced in
order to analyse any violence that takes place today and determine
if the justification provided is Islamic or not.
