The Political Rights of Women in Islam

In this book, the author presents an essay by Prof. Abdulhamid al-Ansari from Qatar to English readers. The essay concerns the interesting topic of Women and Politics, one of the most controversial issues in Islam. The opinions on female involvement in politics differ a lot within the Muslim community: they vary from the total exclusion of women from politics to their partial or even total involvement and participation. The author is convinced that the three different views on the participation of women in politics and society described by Prof. al-Ansari provide a very useful categorisation, which can help to promote dialogue and tolerance within Islam. In this context, Dr. Rampoldi refers to the symbol evocated by Antoine de Saint-Exupery when he says: « Quand tu veux construire un bateau, ne commence pas par rassembler du bois, couper des planches et distribuer du travail, mais réveille au sein des FEMMES le désir de la mer grande et large ». If we transcribe Saint-Exupery’s aphorism to feminism, we see how important it is to motivate women to participate in Islamic politics and society today. Regarding the need for diversity in Islamic politics and society, according to Quran 5:48, the author states: “Thus, Islam is a religion that fundamentally affirms diversity, and the colourfulness of the world on this earth where the best man and the best woman is the one who has the best moral values, and who uses these values to build a better, more beautiful world.”

... Tunisia or Libya flagrantly violated the dignity of their people, humiliated them,
denied them their livelihood and destroyed their future. This was more than
anything was a revolution for dignity. Dignity is a sublime human value. Allah
almighty said we have honoured human beings. If human beings were content to
live without dignity, there will be no reason for their existence. How then did the
Islamists come to power? There are two reasons behind that: first, they are more
organised.

African Constitutionalism and the Role of Islam

Constitutionalism is steadily becoming the prevalent form of governance in Africa. But how does constitutionalism deal with the lingering effects of colonialism? And how does constitutional law deal with Islamic principles in the region? African Constitutionalism and the Role of Islam seeks to answer these questions. Constitutional governance has not been, nor will be, easily achieved, Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na'im argues. But setbacks and difficulties are to be expected in the process of adaptation and indigenization of an essentially alien concept—that of of nation-state—and its role in large-scale political and social organization. An-Na'im discusses the problems of implementing constitutionalized forms of government specific to Africa, from definitional to conceptual and practical issues. The role of Islam in these endeavors is open to challenge and reformulation, and should not be taken for granted or assumed to be necessarily negative or positive, An-Na'im asserts, and he emphasizes the role of the agency of Muslims in the process of adapting constitutionalism to the values and practices of their own societies. By examining the incremental successes that some African nations have already achieved and An-Na'im reveals the contingent role that Islam has to play in this process. Ultimately, these issues will determine the long-term sustainability of constitutionalism in Africa.

The Changing Face of Religion and Human Rights

A Personal Reflection

Clemens N. Nathan has devoted a lifetime to the pursuit of Human Rights to understanding and reflecting upon the concept of Human Rights; to participating in, and sometimes helping to create, organisations and mechanisms for the protection and promotion of Human Rights; to helping those who have been denied their Human Rights and to encouraging and supporting research into and scholarship on Human Rights. All this has been achieved by a man who has had no formal training in the field, but who has become a recognised expert through his extensive reading, through working with leading exponents, and by drawing upon his lively intellect, his wealth of culture and his knowledge of history, philosophy and religions. This volume, published under the auspices of the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law, offers insight into the challenging relationship between religion and human rights.

Islam and the Everyday World

Public Policy Dilemmas

This is a new examination of how Shari’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.

Alles, was Sie über »Das Kapital im 21. Jahrhundert« von Thomas Piketty wissen müssen

Thomas Pikettys voluminöses Werk Das Kapital im 21. Jahrhundert hat die Zunft der Ökonomen entzweit wie kaum ein anderes Buch. Die Volkswirtschaft selbst scheint in ihren Grundfesten erschüttert. Pikettys illustre Leserschar reicht von US-Präsident Barack Obama und Papst Franziskus über den Nobelpreisträger Paul Krugman bis hin zu IWF-Chefin Christine Lagarde. Doch an seinen Thesen über den Kapitalismus scheiden sich die Geister. Worum geht es also in diesem Opus magnum? Was hat Thomas Piketty untersucht? Welche politischen Empfehlungen – die letztendlich uns alle betreffen – leitet er daraus ab? Wie ist sein Werk einzuordnen und zu interpretieren? Alles, was Sie über Thomas Pikettys Kapital, seine Thesen und die Kritik daran wissen müssen, hat Ulrich Horstmann in diesem Buch verständlich dargestellt und interpretiert.
