Genre: Political Science

Culture and development cooperation are inextricably linked. For development cooperation to be both successful and sustainable, cultural concepts need to be taken into account. Against the background of an increasingly politicized discourse about Islam, GTZ has stressed positive potential elements in Muslim societies. Covering a broad range of topics from good governance and conflict resolution to gender and girls education as well as the conservation of natural resources, this book analyzes the limits and potentials of development cooperation in Muslim countries. Many examples from the field help to underline the theoretical analysis. Over and above that, the book is a reflection on the external influence on political, social, and institutional change that development cooperation always entails. The book also makes a contribution to a much needed dialogue with partner countries, and shows that development cooperation can be an important actor in furthering this dialogue.

This book aims to explore and analyse Islamic Moral Economy (IME) as an alternative economic and social system to capitalism and socialism. It proposes a new model of Islamic development, integrating global development within an Islamic framework of spiritual development. It is argued that the failure of Muslim countries to provide basic necessities and an environment free of oppression and injustice can be overcome with this authentic Islamic development framework. In addition, this book can be an important study to identify the theological, political, social and economic boundaries for changing the society to produce IME oriented developmentalism.

In this pioneering work Siraj Sait and Hilary Lim address Islamic property and land rights, drawing on a range of socio-historical, classical and contemporary resources. They address the significance of Islamic theories of property and Islamic land tenure regimes on the 'webs of tenure' prevalent in the Muslim societies. They consider the possibility of using Islamic legal and human rights systems for the development of inclusive, pro-poor approaches to land rights. They also focus on Muslim women's rights to property and inheritance systems. Engaging with institutions such as the Islamic endowment (waqf) and principles of Islamic microfinance, they test the workability of 'authentic' Islamic proposals. Located in human rights as well as Islamic debates, this study offers a well researched and constructive appraisal of property and land rights in the Muslim world.
