About the Book

Richard A. Debs follows the modern development of law in Egypt, a predominantly Islamic society in which the West has defined the terms of progress in the modern era. Debs focuses specifically on Egypt and its modern legal institutions, which draw upon society's own vigorous legal traditions as it forms its modern law. Yet Debs also touches on issues that are common to all such societies that have adopted, either by choice or by necessity, Western legal systems. Egypt's unique synthesis of Western and traditional elements is the outcome of an effort to respond to national goals and requirements. Egypt's traditional law is the Shari'ah, the fundamental law of all Islamic societies, and through his analysis of Egypt's law of property, he shows how Islamic jurisprudence can be sophisticated, coherent, rational, and effective, developed over centuries to serve the needs of societies that have flourished under the rule of law.

About the Author :

He is chairman emeritus of the American University of Beirut; a trustee of the Institute of International Education, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and the Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies; and cochair of the advisory board of Columbia University's Middle East Institute. Ridwan Al Sayyid has been a visiting professor at Harvard University and the University of Chicago. Frank E. Vogel is professor of Islamic legal studies at Harvard Law School.

Review :
(A) fascinating read, and a core addition to community and college library collections focusing on international law.-- "Midwest Book Review" Extremely well-written and highly-informative.... This is a very welcome addition to the English language Islamic law library. I suspect that those who teach courses on modern Islamic law will quickly place it on their mandatory reading lists.--Mohammad Fadel "Journal of Islamic Studies" This book is a perfect study of the reform of Islamic law in the Muslim world.... It will certainly be a useful guide to graduate students and researchers of Islamic law.--Harun Karčic "Symposia"
