Overview

Islam and International Law explores the complex and multi-faceted relationship of international law and Islam both as a religion and a legal order. Current debates on Sharia, Islam and the West often suffer from prejudice, platitudes, and stereotypes on both sides. The present book seeks to engage such self-centrism by providing a plurality of perspectives, both in terms of interdisciplinary research and geographic backgrounds. The volume thus brings together 20 contributions from scholars who cover pressing issues in fields such as the use of force in Islamic international law, Islam's contribution to the development of diplomacy and the rule of law, controversies as to the role of the individual, human rights and international criminal law, as well as Islamic visions of world order in a globalizing world. Contributors: Awn S. Al-Khasawneh, Asma Afsaruddin, Mohd Hisham Mohd Kamal, Necmettin Kizilkaya, Muhammad Munir, Labeeb Ahmed Bsoul, Khaled Ramadan Bashir, Harriet Rudolph, Irmgard Marboe, Abdulmumini A. Oba, Javaid Rehman, Lorenz Langer, Abdul Ghafur Hamid @ Khin Maung Sein, Mashood A. Baderin, Markus Beham, Matthias Cernusca, Maurits S. Berger, Gregor Novak, Muddathir Abdel-Rahim.
