Review Islamic Banking and Interest: A Study of the Prohibition of Riba and Its Contemporary Interpretation (Studies in Islamic Law and Society, V. 2) / Brill Academic Publishers:This important book critically examines the traditional interpretation of riba (translated as usury of interest) and the attempts of modern Islamic banks to put that interpretation into practice. The first part of the book examines the prohibition and interpretation of riba in Islam, as well as the controversies surrounding it. The second part examines the alternatives to interest-based financing utilised in Islamic banking and the problems associated with such alternatives with particular focus on mudaraba, musharaka and marabaha. The book questions the legalistic approach to the interpretation of riba and argues for a moral understanding of the issue in the light of the authoritative texts of Islam and the lessons learnt from the Islamic banking experiment.

Review Islamic Law and the State: The Constitutional Jurisprudence of Shihab Al-Din Al-Qarafi (Studies in Islamic Law and Society) (Studies in Islamic Law and Society) / Brill Academic Publishers:This book deals with an Ayyubid-Mamluk Egyptian jurist's attempt to come to terms with the potential conflict between power, represented in the state, and authority, represented in the schools of law, particularly where one school enjoys a privileged status with the state. It deals with the history of the relationship between the schools of law, particularly in Mamluk Egypt, in the context of the running history of Islamic law from the formative period during which ijtihad was the dominant hegemony, into the post-formative period during which taqlid came to dominate. It also deals with the internal structure and operation of the madhhab, as the sole repository of legal authority. Finally, the book includes a discussion of the limits of law and the legal process, the former imposing limits on the legal jurisdiction of the jurists and the schools, the latter imposing limits on the executive authority of the state.

Review Interpretation of Tax Treaties Under International Law (Doctoral) / IBFD Publications:This book offers an in-depth analysis of the rules and principles of international law relevant to the interpretation of, and application to tax treaties. The rules of international law enshrined in Articles 31, 32 and 33 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties are discussed in detail. Where appropriate, reference is made to the jurisprudence of the International Court of Justice, and to the law and procedure of other international courts and tribunals. Since tax treaties are not only a source of legal rights and obligations for the contracting States, but can also be invoked by the taxpayers of those States, this book considers the extent to which the relevant rules and principles of international law are binding on domestic courts and taxpayers. The effect of international law in a State's national legal order is largely dependent on its relevant rules of constitutional law, which vary from country to country. In order to address this issue, the book draws upon the example of the Netherlands and provides a number of leading cases decided by the Dutch Supreme Court (Hoge Raad).

Review Sanctity of Contracts Revisited:A Study in the Theory and Practice of International Commercial Transactions / Springer:This work contributes to the theory and practice of long-term international commercial transactions ("LTICTs"). Such transactions are becoming more of the norm than the exception in the sphere of international trade, since they are the most appropriate tool for meeting the demands of an ever-increasing sophistication in prevailing technology and financial techniques. They mobilize financial, operational and manpower capacities which are beyond the means of any single enterprise. It is this enormous increase in the use of LTICTs that makes a study of their conceptual basis one of significant importance and interest. This work explores the conceptual basis of these contracts, and analyzes international arbitral practice involving LTICTs in pursuit of defining the nature and content of such transactions. This work should appeal to practitioners and theorists interested in arbitration, providing them with a coherent structure of the theory and practice relating to the performance of LTICTs.
