Islamic Law and Governance in Contemporary Iran

Description:

"Islamic Law and Governance In Contemporary Iran: Transcending Islam for Social, Economic, and Political Order examines Islamization of the law in the Islamic Republic of Iran and surveys the evolution of institutions, processes, and policies of the regime. It underscores the regime's willingness to transcend the restrictive precepts of Islam in the interest of social, economic, and political order. This strategy could guide other Islamists in their search for indigenous Islamist models of development elsewhere"--Unedited summary from book cover.
