Islam, the state, and political authority

Each chapter provides a historically grounded and in-depth discussion of issues as diverse as the nature of government, the relationship between politics and theology, Shi'i conceptions of statecraft, notions of public duty, and the compatibility of Islam and democratic governance. Both specialists and interested readers will benefit from the volume's broad scope and thorough consideration of a variety of issues in Islamic political thought and practice.
