Legal reform for Syria’s war-affected children
The prolonged conflict in Syria has left a devastating legacy for the country’s children, with over 1 million orphaned or abandoned due to violence, displacement, or economic hardship. As Syria enters a transitional phase following the fall of the Assad regime, the legal protection and integration of these children into stable family environments has become an urgent priority. This article examines the challenges and opportunities of legal reform…
Beyond Mainstream Media and Communication Perspectives on the Arab Uprisings
This editorial argues for more research connecting media and communication as a discipline and the Arab Uprisings that goes beyond the mainstream techno-deterministic perceptions. The contributions in this thematic issue can be summarized around three central arguments: First, mainstream media, like TV and journalism, are central and relevant actors in the post-Arab Uprisings phase which have often been overlooked in previous literature.

Golfstaaten auf Dem Weg Zu Einem Modernen Recht Für die Familie?
Islamisches Recht wird oftmals als starr und entwicklungsunfähig wahrgenommen. Die Reduktion des islamischen Rechts auf Religion und jahrhundertealte Tradition verfehlt jedoch dessen Dynamik und Wandelbarkeit. Wie ein modernes Recht für die Familie im islamischen Rechtskreis entstehen kann, untersucht Lena-Maria Möller am Beispiel der neuen Familiengesetzbücher Bahrains, Katars und der Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate. Interdisziplinär und rechtsve…

The Article first considers the legislature…
