Benussi, Matteo. „Aspiring Muslims in Russia : form-of-life and political economy of virtue in Povolzhye's 'halal movement'“. Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2018. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/276156.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
This thesis is concerned with the ways in which Muslims in Russia’s Povolzhye region define, and strive towards, spiritual and material well-being. It explores how pious subjectivities are cultivated in a secular and often politically hostile environment. In addition, it deals with Povolzhye Muslims’s pursuit of worldly success in the context of social change brought about by Russia’s transition to a market economy. Povolzhye is a prosperous, multi-ethnic and multi-confessional historical region, home to Russia’s second largest ethnic group, the Volga Tatars. Although the Tatars have been Sunni Muslims for centuries, the post-Soviet emergence of cosmopolitan, scripturalist piety trends – which I collectively refer to as Povolzhye’s ‘halal movement’ – has raised unprecedented concerns and disputes about the meaning of Muslimness and the place of Muslims in Russian society. Scripturalist virtue-ethics projects have been underrepresented within the expanding body of anthropological literature concerning Islam in the former USSR, and particularly in the Russian Federation. With its explicit ethnographic focus on Povolzhye’s halal movement, this work aims at filling this gap. The halal movement is characterised by its hypermodern transnational imagery as well as significant discursive overlapping with the realms of business and economy. The pursuit of a virtuous existence is particularly appealing to those ascending sectors of society that most successfully engage with Russia’s post-socialist free-market environment, while the idiom of piety both communicates and dissimulates novel forms of stratification and exclusion. This project brings together anthropological theories of ethical self-cultivation with approaches that focus on power, social change, and political economy. In order to explore the political life of the halal movement vis-à-vis both state institutions and the market, I employ Giorgio Agamben’s notions of ‘form-of-life’ and ‘rule/law’, which shed light on the relationship between power and virtue in original ways. In addition, particular attention is given to the social distribution of virtue and the role it plays in reproducing distinction, status, and a ‘capitalist spirit’.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
Muslim culture and society has been a part of the Philippine islands in spite of nearly ninety-five percent of the population being Christian (a majority Catholic), yet did not become a separatist movement until the 1970's. Since then, the two main separatist groups the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) have been battling the Philippine government. The parties entered truces in 1996 and 2001, yet there has been a cycle of violence continues. The Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG), linked to Al Qaeda, emerged in 1990 and has launched many attacks on the Christian Philippine majority. The prolonged Muslim unrest in the ARMM has left thousands dead and hundreds of thousands displaced. The main objective of this research paper is to examine Philippine economic and political development and its impact on Philippine Muslim unrest. This paper presents a critical analysis of the economic and political development and Philippine Muslim unrest by examining six major features of the Philippines; they are: The historical evolution, economic development, political development, socio-cultural setting, geographic setting, and the quality of life of the Filipino people. This research also examines Fareed Zakaria's illiberal democracies theory, liberal institutionalism, and the Marxist theory of class revolution and primarily relies on research conducted at the University of the Philippines and from Philippine and Asian scholars. By taking a holistic comprehensive approach and by using international relations theory, this research fills two gaps in the literature about Philippine Muslim unrest. The research concludes with a look at future challenges, both short term and long term that face the country, as well as, possible future scenarios. The findings of this research are that the economic and political development and the historical evolution, though major contributory factors, are not the sole reason for the prolonged Philippine Muslim unrest. The most pervasive causal factor to Muslim unrest was the socio-cultural setting. Because of the all-pervasive nature of culture; at first glance, the socio-cultural setting was not a major apparent cause. At almost all times examined throughout this research, certain cultural tendencies guided decisions and altered the course of events more so than any other single variable. Corruption, crony capitalism, patrimonialism, and irrational institutions all stem from the tendencies of Philippine culture must be addressed to find lasting peace in the country. A move toward rational legal institutions and liberal constitutionalism, will lead the way to the creation of a liberal democracy and break the cycle of violence occurring in the Philippines.M.A.

Cette thèse examine la bourgeoisie musulmane-turque marchande et industrielle, dans la période de la fondation de la République en Turquie. L’argument principal de cette étude consiste à prouver que les commerçants et les entrepreneurs musulmans-turcs dans les années 1920 constituaient une classe sociale qui cherchait à dominer économiquement, socialement et politiquement. Au début de la République, les commerçants et industriels musulman-turcs constituaient une classe qui possédait une culture et une idéologie commune, une vision englobante sur l'économie du pays. D'une part, cette étude révèle la composition interne de cette classe, les secteurs d'activité dont ses membres s'occupaient, leurs sources de richesse, leurs voies de développement. D'autre part, cette thèse révèle le rôle que joue cette classe sociale dans les années 1920 avec leurs demandes et leurs préoccupations, leur idéologie et leurs affiliations politiqueThis thesis aims at demonstrate that Muslim-Turkish merchants and entrepreneurs in Turkey in the 1920’s constituted a social class, namely the national “bourgeoisie” of the country, seeking to dominate economically, socially and politically. At the beginning of the Republic, the Muslim-Turkish merchants and industrialists constituted a class which had a common culture and ideology, and a vision regarding the economy of the country in general. On one hand, this study reveals the internal composition of this class, its components, the business sectors they dealt with, the sources of their wealth and their paths of development, whereas on the other hand, it presents the role that this social class played in the 1920’s by focusing on their economic and political organizations, their demands and concerns, their ideology and political affiliations and finally on their relationship with the political power

Within the sample of Muslim-majority countries, the links between how explicitly "Islamic" a society is, the status of women, and economic and other societal outcomes is explored. A country is considered more or less "Islamic" depending upon if Islam is the official state religion, if Islamic law forms a basis for the legal system, and the degree to which the country has rejected or maintained traditional Islamic norms such as regarding the acceptance of polygamy and the legal obligation of women to wear the veil in public. It is found that if a country is more "Islamic," it tends to also have worse outcomes along different dimensions, such as degree of authoritarianism and absence of women's rights. However, focusing exclusively on whether the country has Islamic law as a basis of the legal system, these countries tend to be richer. An extremity index is composed, which contains only variables which describe the status of women in Muslim countries, along educational and legal dimensions. It is found in regressions that this extremity index is a statistically significant predictor of economic growth, where higher extremity leads to lower GDP growth rates. Oil is still an extremely important factor in explaining the variation in GDP levels and growth rates in the Muslim world.

Il seguente lavoro si concentra su una forma di turismo che è stata poco trattata dalla letteratura esistente ma che sta avendo un crescente sviluppo negli anni recenti: il turismo Muslim-Friendly. Molte destinazioni come Malesia, Spagna, Turchia e Giappone, hanno compreso l’enorme potenziale di questa branca dell’Economia Islamica e puntano in maniera crescente sul target qui trattato, ossia i turisti di fede musulmana. Questi hanno innanzitutto una forte propensione al viaggio sia per ragioni di business che per leisure, hanno una sempre maggiore capacità di spesa, oltre ad avere un livello di educazione medio-alto e ad un utilizzo intenso della tecnologia.
Partendo con una panoramica sull’intera Economia Halal col fine di introdurre il lettore al concetto etico di Halal, ci concentriamo poi sul Turismo Muslim Friendly, definendo domanda ed offerta in tutti i loro aspetti, nonché delineando le sfide e le opportunità che questo mercato si pone. Il lavoro infine si conclude con dei casi studio, in cui si analizzano diverse destinazioni che si sono concentrate su questa tipologia di turismo, con un occhio di riguardo all’Italia ed alla possibile applicazione di questo business nel Belpaese, con relative sfide e potenzialità.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
The tremendous growth and widespread expansion of Islamic banking industry in the financial markets of the world has made this newly born industry a ground reality. More than 400 banks are operating in over 75 countries of the world. The assets of Islamic banking industry around the world are over $1.1 trillion in 2012. Another factor of the attraction of Islamic banking industry is the resilience which Islamic banks have shown in the current global financial crisis. The UK, because of its legal and financial environment has become a centre of Islamic banking and finance in the west and stands as number 8 in world ranking. The presence and ever growing considerable segment of Muslim population in the UK and their social, cultural and religious identity require a faith based banking system which is compatible with their beliefs and values. The demographics of the Muslim population and the ideological differences supported the argument that the Islamic banks can produce significant socio-economic impact. The social aspect of banking institutions is a new development in the discipline. The dissertation explores the attitudes of Muslims in the North West of England towards Islamic banking and finance and what is the potential of Islamic banking and finance from socioeconomic perspective in the region.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
Muslim women in Britain are the only religious group of women more likely to be economically inactive than active, this has been the case since the onset of large-scale migration of Muslim women to Britain from the 1960s. This thesis aims to examine and explain the persistent presence of Muslim women in the looking after home category of economic inactivity, over time and generation. A new system of state benefit payments is being rolled out across the UK; Universal Credit is likely to lead to changes in household economies and the ways in which Muslim women engage with the labour market. Qualitative research into economic inactivity has remained remarkably static over the years. This contrasts with the contemporary and vibrant field of quantitative studies of ethnic and religious inequalities in the labour market. This study applies a systematic mixed methods research approach, where both qualitative and quantitative paradigms are given equal weight at all stages. The quantitative component of the study involved multivariate analysis of the EMBES 2010 dataset. This analysis fed into the design of a qualitative phase of research which was undertaken over a period of nine months in an area of high Pakistani density. The study of labour market outcomes for Muslim women is made complex because of the layering of disadvantage and discrimination based on migrant status, gender, and social class as well as race, ethnicity and religion. This thesis attempts to engage with this complexity to describe and understand the interplay of structural and socio-cultural factors that lead to high levels of economic inactivity in the looking after home category. Evidence is found for both inter and intragenerational shifts and changes. Recently-arrived first generation women are the most marginalised within families, co-ethnic communities and labour markets - both in the mainstream and in the enclave.

of religious tradesmen and (c) the transformation process of religious values within the present economic system. In the study, semistructured in-depth interviews and official documents were used to collect the research data. The thesis of Weber on the relationships between religious values and the rational capitalism was examined to better understand the work ethics and the religious values of religious tradesmen. The opinions of Weber, Rodinson and Ü
lgener about the causes of the nonexistence of a rational capitalism in the Islamic world were evaluated throughout the study. In this respect, the emergence and the development of the Muslim guilds and petty bourgeoisie within the traditional Islamic societies were also studied. The research results suggest that the incorporation into the free market economy brings about the transformation the religious economic convictions or values. Therefore, the chance of survival and the applicability of such religious values within this economic system seem to be impossible. In summary, this particular research indicates that the religious tradesmen do not face with serious contradictions in their economic activities. They rather seem to be involved in a transformation and adaptation process in the free market economy.

This thesis explores the process of economic and political reform in Egypt, by taking into consideration the role of the Muslim Brotherhood and the politics of succession in Egypt. The Muslim Brotherhood is arguably the most important political actor in Egypt, and by looking at how the Muslim Brotherhood developed strength over the decades through a process of change in its shape and character, it will allow an understanding of how it was able to pose a challenge to the Egyptian government at a time of economic reform in 1991 and the consequences, which followed for the process of political change in Egypt. Also, a look at the process of political succession in Egypt, which has risen to the surface over the last 6 years, will allow an understanding into the actors and forces involved in the politics of succession and the consequences, which emerge for the future process of reform, in particular political reform in Egypt.

In the construction of their media infrastructure, most of the Arab countries are spending millions of dollars on US and Western contracts. Regarded as one of the fastest growing and dynamic markets for media technologies in the world, the region may lack a clear media policy as a guideline to shed light upon the mega million investments on the industry. Some critics suggest that the advanced media technologies provided to the Arab world are mostly initiated by Western sales/marketing strategy rather than Middle Eastern choice and initiative. They see the process as a reaction to the Western media practices, rather than a pre-planned policy. This study is directed toward constructing a critical understanding of the development, and current status, of media policy and infrastructure in the Arab world. Being undertaken as the basis of a Ph. D. thesis in an inter-disciplinary department, the research is informed by a strong inter-disciplinary perspective, but with a clear political economy emphasis. The study seeks to examine whether there is a clear media policy in the Arab world, either at a national or regional level. Within this context, ARABSAT, perhaps the most popular media system in the Arab world, constitutes a specific case study. Inaugurated in 1985, the system has been the subject of extensive debate, sometimes heatedly discussing its pros and cons. Its long period of operation, the extensive contribution of most Arab/Muslim countries in the process of the creation and operation of ARABSAT, as well as the footprint coverage of the system including the Middle East, most parts of Asia, the Indian subcontinent and some parts of Europe, make the contribution of ARABSAT within the Middle East media environment of particular interest. Now, nearly 15 years after the advent of ARABSAT, established and supported by the overwhelming majority of the Arab states, a critical assessment of the system in terms of policy/strategy is timely.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
This thesis consists of three empirical chapters studying the relationship be- tween religion and political economy for a sample of countries with substantial Muslim presence. Chapter one is a study of the relationship between religiously motivated at- titudes and FDI for a panel of predominantly Muslim countries over a period of ten years stretching from 1997 to 2006. Instrumenting for the attitude variables, I �nd that countries with more progressive attitudes towards women and higher levels of openness towards foreigners tend to be more attractive to FDI. Chapter two examines the relationship between Islam and economic growth for a panel of countries with substantial Muslim presence over the period 1990-2008. Using instrumental variables, I show that higher levels of religiosity, measured by belief and attendance, depress economic growth. Following up on the �ndings of chapters two and three, in chapter three I inves- tigate how di�erent patterns of religious behaviour map onto economically relevant attitudes for a sample of individuals from predominantly Muslim countries. The empirical �ndings suggest that religiosity in predominantly Muslim countries is associated with conservative attitudes towards women, and intolerance towards strangers. On the other hand, religiosity is found to be associated with con�dence in state institutions, the respect of law, and pro-market attitudes. Testing for the in uence of September 11 on religiosity, I �nd that Muslims after 2001 are more religious. In this thesis I �nd that religion negatively in uences FDI by encouraging conservative attitudes towards women and intolerance towards foreigners. These attitudes are also plausible channels through which the negative in uence of reli- gion on economic growth works. I also �nd that the pro-market attitudes produced by religion are another plausible channel through which the negative in uence of religion works. Finally, the increase in religiosity after the September 11 attacks, ceteris paribus, could plausibly mean that the negative in uence of religiosity in countries with substantial Muslim presence on economic performance would in- crease.

This paper explores the empowerment of adolescent girls through sport using two case studies. Both case studies take place in predominantly Muslim countries: Egypt and Bangladesh. The sports programs also are both implemented through schools, public in Egypt and private in Bangladesh. I also evaluate the feasibility of establishing sports programs across the world. Because of Afghanistan’s especially harsh circumstances for women, the final chapter strategizes methods to implement similar programs there. I conclude by assessing the future of girls' sports programs in the Middle East and whether or not governments and international organizations should continue investing in these programs.

Demuth, Frauke. „An Islamic economy based on rizq : a grounded study on Islamic economics and finance through an everyday understanding of Muslim civil society representatives in Germany“. Thesis, Durham University, 2016. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/11913/.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
Theory development in Islamic economics has largely been based on the foundational texts of Islam, the Qur’an and Sunnah. As the main articulation of Islamic economics, the Islamic finance industry was once perceived as the main gateway of building an economic system based on the principles and ideals developed in Islamic economics. However, nowadays, Islamic economics theory has failed to integrate important alternative economic concepts such as sustainable development, and Islamic finance is often criticised for preferring ‘form over substance’ in terms of ethicality. In order to address these shortcomings, the present study uses a grounded theory based and transdisciplinary research approach. On the basis of semi-structured elite interviews with representatives of Muslim civil society in Germany on questions regarding the economy in general and businesses in particular in connection with issues of ethics and sustainable development a theoretical model for an ideal Islamic economy is proposed based on the emerging concepts. The framework for the proposed model is located in economic sociology. Furthermore, this study develops an assessment tool for Islamic sustainable investment decisions from the theoretical model in order to address the perceived ethical gap in the practice of Islamic finance. The research presented enriches the theory development in Islamic economics, because it introduces new concepts such as rizq and alternative economic mechanisms that have not been explored in Islamic economics before and that open new avenues of enquiry. The research presented in this study also enlivens the debate by introducing new voices that have not been considered so far in Islamic economics. Voices, such as those of Muslim civil society actors, are important to give the field a reality check, make the theoretical foundations more meaningful and move them closer to the lebenswelt (lifeworld) of Muslims today. They also show the great diversity of interpretations of Islamic concepts in the Muslim community, and, therefore are a reflection of the plurality existing in the modern Islamic discourse.

What causes order out of disorder? How can states that have failed, be reconstituted? What causes the emergence and success of Islamic movements in these failed states? This dissertation offers a political economy explanation of state formation out of collapse. Looking at two classic cases of state failure – Afghanistan and Somalia – it presents an endogenous process of social and political transformation that led to the emergence of weak, but centralized Islamist regimes. This dissertation lays out two specific causal processes of Islamic state formation out of collapse: first, a long-term phenomenon of Islamic identity transformation within the business community, as a mechanism to reduce transaction costs and improve access to markets; and second, a short-term strategic calculation of the cost of operating under warlord protection rackets versus the cost of financing a political alternative. Based on original qualitative and quantitative field research from Somalia, Kenya, Pakistan, Afghanistan and the United Arab Emirates, the research examines the economic drivers of Islamism in failed states, and proposes alternative paths to state-building.Quelles sont les causes qui mènent du désordre à l'ordre ? Comment des états effondrés peuvent-ils être reconstruits ? Quelles sont les causes de l'émergence et des succès de mouvements Islamiques dans ces états en déliquescence ? Cette thèse propose une explication d'économie politique de la formation de l'état à partir des restes de l'effondrement de celui-ci. En observant deux cas classiques d'états déliquescents - l'Afghanistan et la Somalie - cette thèse présente un processus endogène de transformation politique et sociale qui a mené à l'émergence de régimes Islamistes faibles, mais centralisés. La thèse présente deux processus causals spécifiques de la formation d'un état Islamiste à partir d'un état effondré : en premier lieu, un processus au long terme de transformation de l'identité Islamique à l'intérieur de la communauté d'affaires, utilisée comme mécanisme de réduction des coûts de transaction et d'amélioration de l'accession aux marchés; en second lieu, un calcul stratégique à court terme du coût d'exploitation lors de chantages à la protection de chefs de guerre, comparativement au coût de financement d'une alternative politique. La recherche, qui est basée sur des enquêtes de terrain en Afghanistan, au Pakistan, au Kenya, en Somalie et aux Emirats Arabes Unis, examine les moteurs de l'Islamisme dans les états défaillants, et propose des chemins alternatifs à la création d'états.

The aim of this study is to examine conflict and how it impinges on development. Conflict is an inevitable element of human existence since creation and has always affected human activities and endeavors in several ways. Understanding the dimensions of human conflict therefore provides blueprints on how to manage and resolve conflicts. This makes this study timely. In this research, some relevant related to conflict management approaches were examined. The research adopted a case study approach using the Jos Plateau conflict in the Plateau State of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Data was collected and analyzed using a mixed research methods approach. The findings show several causes of this conflict among which are differences in religious beliefs among the people of the area, socio-economic causes, political tensions and land disputes. The consequences of the conflict identified are: it retards development in the area, creates fear and feelings of insecurity, destruction of property and loss of human lives. This study also examined how the conflict impinges on people-cantered development. In terms of how the conflict can be mitigated, respondents think education, creation of employment opportunities, the administration of justice and the practice of tolerance values is going to promote a spirit of coexistence and eventually result in a more peaceful and stable environment.

In Islamic societies, religion plays a significant role in shaping the home and the environment. An important feature of the Islamic culture is the segregation of women from males other than next of kin. This aspect has given rise to the separation of domains for men and women, both in the home and the neighbourhood. And this duality of space in turn reinforces the seclusion and segregation of women.This thesis studies this phenomenon in rural settlements in South Asia in regions where Muslims predominate and also in non-Muslim areas influenced by centuries of Muslim rule. The living patterns of rural women and how they use and perceive their local space formed the focus of the study.
A field study was undertaken in a rural community in Bangladesh. Gender segregation norms and the resulting spatial organization of dwellings of different socio-economic groups were studied and compared. An important premise of the study is how the poor manage to integrate their faith and Islamic customs in their living environment.

This study explored the affect of Muslim motivation in following Islam in their decision-making process to perform behaviors that are subject to Islamic rulings known as fatwa. Three behaviors that are subject to fatwa declarations; smoking, listening to popular music and buying a Coca Cola soft drink, were chosen. Utilizing the Theory of Planned Behaviors, this study examined: 1) If a Muslim's motivation in following Islam is an effect in their cognitive and behavioral responses regarding the fatwa prohibited behaviors. 2) If Muslim motivation in following Islam is an effect in their decision-making in deciding to whether to perform fatwa prohibited behaviors. Based on a Malaysian university student sample, multiple analyses of variance with covariate's (MANCOVA) results show that a Muslim's motivation in following Islam, his or her gender and their interaction have significant effects in their responses in regards to the behaviors. Muslim males, who are extrinsically motivated towards Islam tended to report a greater intention to smoke, buy a Coca Cola soft drink and tended to report they experienced more social pressure to smoke as compared to others. Nonetheless, SEM analysis found that the sample's responses on items related to the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) about buying a Coca Cola soft drink brand did not fit the model. Other unaccounted for factors that may be related to the Muslims' decision-making about the product, such as possible consumer animosity, was not captured in the survey. The samples responses on smoking and listening to popular music provided a good fit to the model proposed. ii This study found that the Muslim respondents' motivation in following Islam had an effect on the role of perceived social pressure in their planning to smoke, and on the role of perceived social pressure in their planning to listen to popular music. Respondents' motivation in following Islam also had an effect on the role of perception of control in their reported smoking and listening to popular music. The intrinsically motivated Muslim consumers tended to be more concerned about others approval in their deciding to smoke and to listen to popular music, than the average extrinsic respondents. The intrinsic Muslim respondents also tended to perceive having incomplete control over smoking and listening to popular music, compared to their extrinsic counterparts. Respondents' attitudes towards smoking and listening to popular music were found to be not relevant in respondents' decision-making to perform the behaviors. This study also found evidence for the effect of type of fatwa prohibition ruling in Muslim respondents' responses and decision-making to perform behaviors in this study. Findings from this study suggest a significant effect of fatwa rulings on products or behaviors, among the sample of young Malaysian Muslim respondents. The findings highlight the needs for marketers to understand nature of fatwa rulings on products, in order to win over Muslim consumers in the marketplace.

In the last 12 years, since the devastating attack on the United States Twin Towers on September 11, 2001, the global community has become increasingly wary. The continuing terrorism on July 7, 2005 on the United Kingdom subway system increased tensions between citizens and immigrants in these countries. I use these two countries to examine the consequences effects that these terrorist attacks have had on, in particular, the Muslim immigrant population. In addition to that, I use Germany as a control, since it has not faced a major terrorist attack, yet has a substantial Muslim immigrant population. In the United States and United Kingdom, I use public opinion data polls and immigration policies before and after the attacks. In Germany's case, I utilize the same data and to assess any correlation to the other two countries data. Using the literature already written, public opinion data polls and policy initiatives enacted before and after these attacks, I examine the overall effect, if any, on the Muslim immigrant population in these countries. The intent of this thesis is to explore if the significant changes in immigration policies after the attacks have occurred due to economic or cultural factors. Because public opinion is central to policy changes, I also consider the implications of public's views on immigration after the attacks, along with the effect all this has on the number of Muslim immigrants entering these countries.B.A.

Ever since the military takeover of 1952, the post-monarchic political system of Egypt has been dependent upon a variety of mechanisms and structures to establish and further consolidate its powerbase. Among those, an intertwined web of what could be described as ‘patronage politics’ emerged as one of the main foundations of these tools and was utilized by the regime to establish the fundamentals of its rule. Throughout the post-1952 era, political patrons and respective clients were existent in Egyptian politics, shaping, to a great extent, the policies implemented by Egypt's rulers at the apex of the political system, as well as the tactics orchestrated by the populace within the middle and lower echelons of the polity. This study aims at analyzing the factors that ensured the durability of patronage networks within the Egyptian polity, primarily focusing on the sort of social structural reconfiguration that has been taking place in the popular communities of Egypt in the beginning of the 21st Century. Dissecting the area of Misr Al Qadima as an exemplar case study of Cairo’s popular quarters, the research mainly focuses on examining the role of the lesser notables, those middle patrons and clients that exist on the lower levels of the Egyptian polity within the ranks of the National Democratic Party and the Muslim Brotherhood. Henceforth, the sociopolitical agency of these lesser notabilities shall constitute the prime concern of the writing and, in doing so; this research also attempts to draw some linkage between the micro-level features of the popular polities of Cairo and the macro-level realities of the Egyptian polity at large, in the contemporary period.

This dissertation assesses how Islamic finance fares as an example of 'civil compromise' in Islamic law. By focusing on the Islamic project finance sector, my research examines how the industry's main stakeholders (representing faith, capital, and power) cooperate and compete to bring about this compromise through the 'Game of Islamic Bank Bargains'. The Islamic finance industry is a work in progress, and while it has made some significant strides, it is still a niche in the global conventional financial order rather than an alternative to it. It has fallen short of fulfilling its originally-stated social justice aspirations, but has provided a previously unavailable form of banking and finance for Muslims to transact, at least formalistically, in accordance with widely-believed tenets of their faith. Thus, those who hold up Islamic finance as a universal panacea or dismiss it outright as a fraud have both got it wrong. It is neither. It is, rather, a complex myriad of incentives and aspirations of a multitude of stakeholders muddled together across numerous geographies and evolving incrementally and constantly. The state of the industry is the result of how the stakeholders (the shariah scholars, lawyers, bankers, government officials, and customers) have pursued their self-interest in the Game of Islamic Bank Bargains. My research examines who are the 'winners' and 'losers' of this game, and what religious, commercial, and political factors have influenced this outcome. I assess what may incentivise the incumbent 'winners' to guide the Islamic finance industry away from a formal and legalistic approach towards one that also incorporates principles from Islamic economics. I explore how the 'losers' - whose interests are not accounted for due to their lack of sufficient financial and political clout - can sway the outcome of the game in their favour.

Dans cette thèse, nous nous consacrerons à comprendre les nouveaux langages qu'adopte le monde économique dans sa machine à fabriquer la quantité. Pour cela, nous nous efforcerons, à travers une finance éthique aux principes islamiques, à déchiffrer ce qui paraît être de nouvelles expressions, traduites dans un double transfert qui s'opère entre l'esprit d'un capitalisme dont la critique est en crise, et le renouveau de l'esprit capitaliste dont les instruments sont désespérément refondés dans une moralisation, même religieuse, des actes parfois les plus immoraux. Ainsi et tout comme chez les protestants, en Islam, c'est « l'acte de commercer » qui sera mis au centre de la vocation «financière», encouragé tout en étant opposé à l'acte d'usure (ribâ dans le monde musulman), il sera le socle d'une légitimation religieuse de l'existence même d'une institution financière islamisée. Nous aurons alors à examiner, de manière plus approfondie, certains aspects de l’industrie financière islamisée, sa naissance, son organisation, ses promoteurs et ses instruments, alertés par des contradictions, des incohérences, voire même des incongruités, nous conclurons le plus souvent sur des contrastes, révélant des contextes aux politiques irrégulières, où souvent les signes d’une précarité alarmante se laissent maladroitement apprivoiser par une pseudo-modernité, parasitant une institution dépassée dans des décors incertains. Certains pays musulmans vont nous aider à entourer la questionIn this thesis, we will focus on uderstanding the new langages adopted by the economic word in it quantity manufacturing machine. To this end, we will endeavour through ethical finance based on Islamic principles, to decipher what appear to be new expressions, reflected in a double transfer that takes places between the spirit of a capitalism whose criticism is in crisis, and the renewal of the capitalist spirit whose instruments are desperately recast in a moralization, even religious, of the sometimes most immoral acts. Thus, as with Protestants, in Isla, it is the « act of trading » that will be placed in the center of « financial » vocation, encouraged while being opposed to the act of usury (ribà in the Muslim world),it will be the basis for a religious legitimization of the existence of an islamized financial institution. We will then have to examine in greater depth, some aspects of the islamized financial industry, its birth, organisation, promoters and instruments, alarted by contradictions, inconsistencies, even incongruities, we will most often conclude with contrasts revealing contexts with irregular polisie, where often signs of alarming precariousness are clumsily tamed by a pseudo-moderity, parasiting an outdated institution in uncertain setting. Some Muslim countries will help us to sorround the issue

Diese Arbeit bietet eine solide theoretische Grundlage zu Philanthropie und religiös motivierten Spendenaktivitäten und deren Einfluss auf Wohltätigkeitstrends, Entwicklungszusammenarbeit und einer auf dem Gedanken der sozialen Gerechtigkeit beruhenden Philanthropie. Untersucht werden dafür die Strukturen religiös motivierte Spenden, für die in der islamischen Tradition die Begriffe „zakat“, „Waqf“ oder im Plural auch „awqaf-“ oder „Sadaqa“ verwendet werden, der christliche Begriff dafür lautet „tithes“ oder „ushour“. Aufbauend auf diesem theoretischen Rahmenwerk analysiert die qualitative und quantitative Feldstudie auf nationaler Ebene, wie die ägyptische Öffentlichkeit Philanthropie, soziale Gerechtigkeit, Menschenrechte, Spenden, Freiwilligenarbeit und andere Konzepte des zivilgesellschaftlichen Engagements wahrnimmt. Um eine umfassende und repräsentative Datengrundlage zu erhalten, wurden 2000 Haushalte, 200 zivilgesellschaftliche Organisationen erfasst, sowie Spender, Empfänger, religiöse Wohltäter und andere Akteure interviewt. Die so gewonnen Erkenntnisse lassen aussagekräftige Aufschlüsse über philanthropische Trends zu. Erstmals wird so auch eine finanzielle Einschätzung und Bewertung der Aktivitäten im lokalen Wohltätigkeitsbereich möglich, die sich auf mehr als eine Billion US-Dollar beziffern lassen. Die Erhebung weist nach, dass gemessen an den Pro-Kopf-Aufwendungen die privaten Spendenaktivitäten weitaus wichtiger sind als auswärtige wirtschaftliche Hilfe für Ägypten. Das wiederum lässt Rückschlüsse zu, welche Bedeutung lokale Wohltätigkeit erlangen kann, wenn sie richtig gesteuert wird und nicht wie bislang oft im Teufelskreis von ad-hoc-Spenden oder Hilfen von Privatperson an Privatperson gefangen ist. Die Studie stellt außerdem eine Verbindung her zwischen lokalen Wohltätigkeits-Mechanismen, die meist auf religiösen und kulturellen Werten beruhen, und modernen Strukturen, wie etwa Gemeinde-Stiftungen oder Gemeinde-„waqf“, innerhalb derer die Spenden eine nachhaltige Veränderung bewirken können. Daher bietet diese Arbeit also eine umfassende wissenschaftliche Grundlage, die nicht nur ein besseres Verständnis, sondern auch den nachhaltiger Aus- und Aufbau lokaler Wohltätigkeitsstrukturen in Ägypten ermöglicht. Zentral ist dabei vor allem die Rolle lokaler, individueller Spenden, die beispielsweise für Stiftungen auf der Gemeindeebene eingesetzt, wesentlich zu einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung beitragen könnten – und das nicht nur in Ägypten, sondern in der gesamten arabischen Region. Als konkretes Ergebnis dieser Arbeit, wurde ein innovatives Modell entwickelt, dass neben den wissenschaftlichen Daten das Konzept der „waqf“ berücksichtigt. Der Wissenschaftlerin und einem engagierten Vorstand ist es auf dieser Grundlage gelungen, die Waqfeyat al Maadi Community Foundation (WMCF) zu gründen, die nicht nur ein Modell für eine Bürgerstiftung ist, sondern auch das tradierte Konzept der „waqf“ als praktikable und verbürgte Wohlstätigkeitsstruktur sinnvoll weiterentwickelt.This work provides a solid theoretical base on philanthropy, religious giving (Islamic zakat, ‘ushour, Waqf -plural: awqaf-, Sadaqa and Christian tithes or ‘ushour), and their implications on giving trends, development work, social justice philanthropy. The field study (quantitative and qualitative) that supports the theoretical framework reflects at a national level the Egyptian public’s perceptions on philanthropy, social justice, human rights, giving and volunteering and other concepts that determine the peoples’ civic engagement. The statistics cover 2000 households, 200 Civil Society Organizations distributed all over Egypt and interviews donors, recipients, religious people and other stakeholders. The numbers reflect philanthropic trends and for the first time provide a monetary estimate of local philanthropy of over USD 1 Billion annually. The survey proves that the per capita share of philanthropy outweighs the per capita share of foreign economic assistance to Egypt, which implies the significance of local giving if properly channeled, and not as it is actually consumed in the vicious circle of ad-hoc, person to person charity. In addition, the study relates local giving mechanisms derived from religion and culture to modern actual structures, like community foundations or community waqf that could bring about sustainable change in the communities. In sum, the work provides a comprehensive scientific base to help understand- and build on local philanthropy in Egypt. It explores the role that local individual giving could play in achieving sustainable development and building a new wave of community foundations not only in Egypt but in the Arab region at large. As a tangible result of this thesis, an innovative model that revives the concept of waqf and builds on the study’s results was created by the researcher and a dedicated board of trustees who succeeded in establishing Waqfeyat al Maadi Community Foundation (WMCF) that not only introduces the community foundation model to Egypt, but revives and modernizes the waqf as a practical authentic philanthropic structure.

When Muslim migrant workers from Indonesia come to work in Taiwan, the first challenge they encounter with realizing religious practices is how to maintain a religious life similar to that in their homeland given the lack of distribution channels and product availability of hijabs in Taiwan as well as their Taiwanese employer’s passive attitude towards lending a hand. Consequently, in order to carry on their religious practices, Indonesian Muslim migrant workers reach out to trustworthy communities and channels to replenish their Islamic supplies. Among them, some migrant workers – with or without permission from their employers – have joined the business of selling hijabs and will be referred to as “moonlighting migrant workers” in this study. The moonlighting migrant collect non-operating income by selling hijabs; in the legal aspect, these beyond-the-permit commercial activities are a violation to the Taiwanese law; in the moral aspect, selling religious articles outside of Indonesia at higher prices warrants the controversy of exploiting fellow compatriots. However, this study has concluded that the main products sold by these moonlighting migrant workers are those pertaining to realizing religious practices of the customers as well as the moonlighting migrant workers themselves. Moreover, the execution of such economic activities incorporates personal interest, public benefits, and all the moral and economic principles of the Islamic doctrine. Hence, there is no worry for the aforementioned issues. This study aims to explore how the moonlighting migrant workers’ community resources, labor contents, labor conditions, and labor relations affect their entrepreneurship and business operation; the study also discusses how moonlighting migrant workers resort to implicit and explicit strategies at their work place – their employer’s home – to negotiate with their employer so as to advance their moonlighting business. Meanwhile, the study also offers an explanation to how these economic strategies centered around religious practice and mutual help between Indonesians not only benefit the moonlighting migrant workers themselves but also advance the interests of their customers as well as other competitors who are also moonlighting migrant workers; by doing so, the study hopes to illustrate the spirit of mutual help and moral economy demonstrated in the economic activities of Indonesian Muslim migrant workers selling hijab in Taiwan.

Relationships between „madams‟ and „maids‟ have been the subject of various South African works, detailing the lives of domestic workers and their daily struggles. This study however aims to turn the focus on the madam and questions the complex intimacy at work between her and her maid. It is this intricate association between „madam‟ and „maid,‟ as well as the context of the home, which creates a site for a unique personal relationship that extends beyond the constraints of the working contract. In order to investigate this relationship, I explore the preconceived notions Muslim madams of North Beach have when recruiting the ideal domestic worker as well as the way everyday life between madams and maids shapes their relationship. In demonstrating the types of relationships and levels of intimacy between them, this thesis focuses on three aspects of everyday life between Muslim madams and maid. Firstly, I explore the „home‟ as a contradictory location – being both a private space for the employer and a workspace for the maid, paying particular attention to the creation of boundaries and negotiations of space within the home. The second key aspect I examine is the extent to which religion influences the relationship between madam and maid. Religion is a thread running through this thesis as a determining factor in the recruitment of a domestic worker and a way in which space is produced. Thirdly, I discuss the sharing of gender between madam and maid and the question of „sisterhood‟ between them. These are underlying elements of the types of relationships between madam and maid which, I argue are characterised by levels of cultivated intimacy.
The project is based on the qualitative results gathered from 20 in-depth interviews with Muslim madams, two focus groups and five key informant interviews with domestic workers. My thesis contributes to the existing research exploring the relationships between madams and maids and opens further avenues for research. It demonstrates that there are key elements besides race and class that shape the relationships between madam and maid, which contribute to levels of cultivated intimacy between them.Thesis (M.Soc.Sci.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2011.

This thesis titled Islam and the Environment within the context of globalisation and South Africa asserts the integral role that religion and culture place on social transformation. It also dispels any myths about the unscientific nature of religion. Religion, in its very tenets, advocates the total respect of all living and non-living things. An analysis of the verses found within the divine book of Muslims, the Quran shows the role of humans in conserving, preserving and caring for the natural environment. The environment is given to humans as a gift. Humans are the custodians and the care-takers of the environment. Planet Earth is in grave danger. Globalisation has placed unreasonable demands on (unnatural resources. Overproduction, the result of mass consumption has led to large scale industrialisation. Pollution, depletion of the ozone layer, global warming, climatic changes are some of the concomitant results of globalisation. South Africa is no exception to the rule. The Muslims of South Africa, via a closer link with the environment can achieve social transformation through the process of Environmental Education and taking greater care of the environment. It is critical that Muslims in South Africa begin to define their relationship with the environment. Muslim schools and institutions formed part of this empirical investigation to ascertain what efforts are being made to develop a sustainable Muslim community in South Africa. The research is both qualitative and quantitative in nature with an exploratory modality. Proposals are made to implement environmentallyfriendly programmes with a view to build capacity amongst Muslims in South Africa through the two fundamentally important stakeholders in South African Muslim society: Islamic schools and the Body of Theologians. The "return to basics" call is further resonated within the context of a textual analysis of verses of the Quran, with a view to ascertain the ordained role of Muslims vis-a-vis their purpose on this earth with reference to the natural environment. This theoretical, conceptual framework provides the bedrock for assumptions that protecting the natural environment is incumbent upon all Muslims. There is an urgent need for South African Muslims to galvanise around environmental issues within the parameters of Islamic schools and Islamic institutions (the Jamiats). These milieus form the pivotal points in this praxiological approach. Programmes for communities and educational institutions are suggested for maximum optimisation in a systemic way of promoting and sustaining environmental education de Nuevo. Socially responsive models and other pragmatic proposals are suggested in a bid to conscientise and empower South African Muslims concerning ways and means of protecting the environment. This thesis highlights the unquestioned assumptions which underlie growing calls for social transformation and considers the significance of a socially critical orientation to environmental education in relation to divine doctrines.Thesis (Ph.D)-University of Durban-Westville, 2004.

This study examines the role women’s groups play in the lives of 10 Muslim women in South Africa. A qualitative methodology was employed to gain information from two women’s groups in Johannesburg. An open-ended questionnaire, focus groups, and individual interviews were used to elicit information. The data were initially analysed using a computer-based content analysis programme (Atlas-ti), to identify a priori and emergent themes and categories in the data. These themes and categories were then used as the basis for a qualitative interpretive analysis, focused in particular on issues of empowerment with respect to psychological, community, economic, intellectual and political empowerment, and more specifically on gender equality. The study would thus suggest that while these groups do have many positive outcomes, the issues dealt with in women’s groups cannot be isolated from the broader social context in which Muslim women live. While the processes of empowerment appear to have begun in areas of psychological, community, intellectual, economic and political empowerment in this sample of women, empowerment with respect to gender equality still seems far off.

Purpose – Firstly, it aims to understand the attributes of the Muslim consumer that drive the purchase intention of Halal products in Porto, Portugal. Secondly, it intends to identify the main drawbacks faced by the Muslim community living in Porto in obtaining Halal products, which would be the basis for the development of a business case that allows us to better analyse the current situation in this business sector. Design/methodology/approach – Quantitative research has been carried out to understand the problems and the opportunities of the Muslim Community living in Porto and to analyse the drivers that motivate them to buy Halal Products. The research applied the theory of planning behaviour as a theoretical framework. We used multiple regression analysis to identify the factors affecting the Halal food purchasing behaviour of the Muslim Community living in Porto. We have also developed a business case and a survey conducted within the Muslim community living in Porto. Data has been collected through self-administered questionnaires. Findings – The results of the multiple regression analysis indicate that the subjective norm has a positive and significant influence on the intention to purchase halal food among Muslims living in the city of Porto. Furthermore, there is evidence of a lack of adequate supply of Halal certified products in Porto. Originality/value – There are not many studies about Halal products carried out in Portugal, the subject is still a novelty and this may be due to the fact that there is no large Muslim community living in Portugal. Besides that, most of the studies on consumer’s purchase intention are aimed at solely identifying motivational factors of purchase and/or obstacles. This one, however, aims at additionally proposing a business case to be followed by any merchant that is planning to serve this market, which we developed in the firm belief that may promote the actual behaviour of buying.Objectivo - Em primeiro lugar, pretende compreender os atributos do consumidor muçulmano que impulsionam a intenção de compra de produtos Halal no Porto, Portugal. Em segundo lugar, pretende identificar os principais inconvenientes enfrentados pela comunidade muçulmana residente no Porto na obtenção de produtos Halal, o que seria a base para o desenvolvimento de um caso comercial que nos permita analisar melhor a situação actual neste sector empresarial. Desenho/método/abordagem - Foi realizada uma investigação quantitativa para compreender os problemas e as oportunidades da comunidade muçulmana residente no Porto e para analisar os factores que os motivam a comprar produtos Halal. A investigação aplicou a teoria do comportamento de planeamento como um quadro teórico. Utilizámos a análise de regressão múltipla para identificar os factores que afectam o comportamento de compra de alimentos Halal da Comunidade Muçulmana que vive no Porto. Desenvolvemos também um caso de negócios e um inquérito realizado no seio da comunidade muçulmana residente no Porto. Os dados foram recolhidos através de questionários auto-administrados. Conclusões - Os resultados da análise de regressão múltipla indicam que a norma subjectiva tem uma influência positiva e significativa na intenção de comprar alimentos halal entre os muçulmanos que vivem na cidade do Porto. Além disso, há provas de uma falta de abastecimento adequado de produtos certificados Halal no Porto. Originalidade/valor - Não há muitos estudos sobre produtos Halal realizados em Portugal, o assunto ainda é uma novidade e isto pode dever-se ao facto de não existir uma grande comunidade muçulmana a viver em Portugal. Para além disso, a maioria dos estudos sobre a intenção de compra do consumidor visam apenas identificar factores motivadores de compra e/ou obstáculos. Este, no entanto, visa ainda propor um caso comercial a ser seguido por qualquer comerciante que pretenda servir este mercado, o qual desenvolvemos na firme convicção de que pode promover o comportamento real de compra.

This thesis concerns the effects of Cyclone Aila, an extreme weather event that took place in 2009, on the rural livelihoods and gendered relations of two ethnically distinct forest communities – Munda, an indigenous group, and Shora, a Muslim group – dwelling near the Sundarbans Forest in Bangladesh. It examines the cyclone’s medium- to long-term impacts on livelihoods and comparative aspects of gendered relations between these two contrasting communities. In doing so, it addresses a gap in current humanitarian and development studies. Adopting an ethnographic research design, the thesis analyses the alterations to livelihood activities and reconfiguration of gender relations within the Munda and Shora communities since 2009. The study primarily contends that post-Aila, livelihoods and gendered relations have been substantially transformed in both communities, in some similar but also some different ways. It makes the case that the improvement of local infrastructure, as an important part of the geographical location, has noticeably progressed the living conditions and livelihoods of some members of the Munda and Shora communities. There is growing acknowledgement of the gendered effects of climatic disasters and their disproportionate impacts on poor and disadvantaged communities in South Asian countries. This thesis demonstrates the importance of intersectionality and the analysis of the overlapping dimensions of gender, marital status, religion and geographical locations in the study of the gendered impacts of extreme weather events. Utilising ethnographic research, it compares livelihoods and gendered relations in two contrasting forest communities in the post-disaster setting of south-west Bangladesh. In this regard, the study contributes to scholarship on gendered livelihood, post-disaster resilience building, and the human ecology of the Sundarbans Forest. In addition, this thesis adds new knowledge about the ways in which NGOs and the intersections of gender, marital status and geographical locations contribute to post-disaster social and cultural changes to the livelihoods and gendered relations of the Munda and Shora forest communities.

This thesis presents four papers on unequal development in the Philippines. The first paper investigates the dynamics of provincial per capita income growth. Results show that income disparities across provinces are increasing over time. There is also evidence of income club convergence where provinces are clustering into high, middle, and low-income groups. The second paper focuses on the determinants of provincial per capita income growth. Results show that the effects of growth determinants vary, depending on whether a province is fast growing or lagging behind. This means lagging provinces have more to gain from additional infrastructure and drop in fertility compared to fast growing provinces. The third paper investigates the role of conflict in the development dichotomy in Mindanao. Evidences suggest that conflict disrupts economic activity, damages social cohesion, polarises society, breeds lawlessness, and creates insecurity resulting to poor development outcomes in conflict-affected provinces. The fourth paper probes the role of political clientelism and its effect on the socio-economic development in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM). A region-wide survey data is employed to investigate the existence of clientelism. Results show that clientelism is strongly embedded in the political landscape of ARMM. Key informant interviews and focus group discussions reveal that local executives tend to keep their area impoverished and use government resources to sustain clientelistic relationships. These findings suggest that central government should prioritise poor and lagging provinces in order to achieve a more inclusive growth. On ARMM, rectifying the extractive local politics is needed to hasten development in the region.
