Reviews

'This pioneering volume goes beyond formalistic analysis of Islamic states and standard discourses of public policy to underscore the actual significance and limitations of the influence of Islamist normative and legalist discourses on key areas of public policy in the Muslim world.' - ""Jomo K. S., editor of Islamic Economic Alternatives"" 'Does Islamic Law affect public policy? The authors methodically uncover the complex interaction between religion and social change in the Muslim world.' - ""Tarik Yousef, Shaykh Al-Sabah Chair in Arab Studies, Center for Contemporary Arab Studies, Georgetown University""
