Development Models in Muslim Contexts available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Recent discussions of the 'Chinese economic development model', the emergence of an alternative 'Muslim model' over the past quarter century and the faltering globalisation of the 'Washington Consensus' all point to the need to investigate more systematically the nature of these models and their competitive attractions. This is especially the case in the Muslim world which both spans different economic and geographic categories and is itself the progenitor of a development model. The 'Chinese model' has attracted the greatest attention in step with that country's phenomenal growth and therefore provides the primary focus for this book. This volume examines the characteristics of this model and its reception in two major regions of the world - Africa and Latin America. It also investigates the current competition over development models across Muslim contexts. The question of which model or models, if any, will guide development in Muslim majority countries is vital not only for them, but for the world as a whole. This is the first political economy study to address this vital question as well as the closely related issue of the centrality of governance to development.

Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Sociology - Religion, grade: A, University of Manchester, language: English, abstract: Within the perspective of social and behavioral sciences, the study of socialization (or social development) has occupied a central space. A commonly accepted definition of socialization has been given by Brim. (Ahmad and Szpara 295-301) In his definition, Brim has stated that, socialization can be defined as a process through which the individuals acquire necessary skills, abilities and disposition that enable them to become an effective or ineffective part of the society. (Ahmad and Szpara 295-301) In the Islamic context, the process of socialization is entirely guided by the laws and regulations that are dictated in the Holy Quran and Sunnah. The process of social development of Muslims become very complex when it occurs in a non-Muslim or western context. (Imtiaz 1-5) This complexity is attributable to the following three major factors: • The intercultural differences and the difference in the core beliefs that Muslim children confront in the Western society. (Ahmad and Szpara 295--301) • The difference between the teachings that Muslim children receive from their families and educational institutions. (Halstead 312-326) • The deteriorating image of Islam and Muslims after the attacks of 11th September 2001 and the negative image of Muslims constructed by the western media. (Reed 1-18) [...]

Genealogy and Knowledge in Muslim Societies available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. These case studies link genealogical knowledge to particular circumstances in which it was created, circulated and promoted. They stress the malleability of kinship and memory, and the interests this malleability serves. From the Prophet's family tree to the present, ideas about kinship and descent have shaped communal and national identities in Muslim societies. So an understanding of genealogy is vital to our understanding of Muslim societies, particularly with regard to the generation, preservation and manipulation of genealogical knowledge.

Following a period of rapid political change, both globally and in relation to the Middle East and South Asia, this collection sets new terms of reference for an analysis of the intersections between global, state, non-state and popular actors and their contradictory effects on the politics of gender.The volume charts the shifts in academic discourse and global development practice that shape our understanding of gender both as an object of policy and as a terrain for activism. Nine individual case studies systematically explore how struggles for political control and legitimacy determine both the ways in which dominant gender orders are safeguarded and the diverse forms of resistance against them.
