Musa Sadr: Modernity, Shi‘ism, and Islamic Humanism
Musa Sadr was a leading force in Lebanese politics from the early 1960s until his disappearance in Libya in 1978. Like now, this was a time of turmoil, violence, and change in the Middle East. Sadr has been portrayed as primarily a charismatic man of action whose inspirational qualities led Lebanon's Shia Muslims to the centre of the political stage. This book also reflects his position as a thinker whose actions were firmly rooted in universal e…

Introduction: Three circles and a few promises
The chapter introduces the volume on constitutionalism in the Arab Gulf states. It situates the development of national constitutionalism against three backdrops: the global constitutional realm, the regional Middle East system, and the Gulf sub-region. It considers the integration of Gulf constitutions in the global study of constitutionalism by emphasizing that these texts – while often highly circumscribed – ought to be examined as the express…
Saudi Arabia: Literal Islamic Constitutionalism
The article describes in a first part the legal underpinnings of the absolute monarchy under the basic laws of government passed in 1992 and the iteration of Majlis al-shura, the parliament-like institution in the Kingdom, which is subordinated to the executive in various ways. It examines in a second part some core human values defined universally in the light of court cases. Dissent in the form of freedom of expression and right to demonstrate,…

The Limits of Authoritarian International Law
Tom Ginsburg's concept of “authoritarian international law” (AIL) is as important as the one it references, Thomas Franck's “right to democratic governance.” It underlines how the promise carried by Franck was betrayed in the bitter turn of history that ended the emerging hope for democracy ruling all nations in the world after 1989. This hope had developed by fits and starts as the slow fulfilment of the Kantian project for “perpetual peace” amo…
Mapping Saudi Criminal Law
This Article maps the criminal law system in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia enacted a criminal procedure code in 2001, but it lacks a comprehensive penal code, relying instead on (i) identifications of certain acts as violations of the law (from public behavior to matters of the state administrative cogwheel) scattered in various pieces of legislation and (ii) the classical Islamic legal tradition’s classification forming a criminal Islamic common la…
Antoni Abat i Ninet & Mark Tushnet, The Arab Spring: An Essay on Revolution and Constitutionalism
Is the barrier of language insuperable in legal scholarship? Can one understand a legal system well enough without the nuances that only come with a long and difficult apprenticeship in its original vocabulary and literature? Can one write seriously about the Arab Spring without knowing Arabic? I guess one can, if the mass of writings churned out on the Middle East, including on constitutionalism and Islamic law, is taken as evidence. This is not…
Philosophy of Nonviolence: Revolution, Constitutionalism, and Justice Beyond the Middle East
Caveat
All constitutional moments are premised for their success on the avoidance of secession. Secession lets up the pressure of the opposition to the dictator in the seceding state, creates new conflicts within and between the rump states over borders and resources (including ethnic cleansing of left-behind minorities), and creates a further secessionist logic within each. Secessionist states are the flipside of failed states, and build on minorities …
Middle Eastern Law
This article maps Middle Eastern law in some of the thousand plateaus where it operates/operated: Mesopotamian law, Roman provincial law, Islamic law, and post-colonial law, with layers within each, such as Elephantine law in Egypt and Jewish and Christian law in Islam's classical age, as well as new worlds of law, such as Byzantine and Ethiopian law, in which scholarship about interaction with other layers of Middle Eastern law is either inexist…
The Philosophy of the Middle East Revolution, Take One: Nonviolence
Against the sceptics, who see nonviolence as a serendipitous occurrence of the Middle East Revolution, the reality is that of a powerful, conscious determination of the revolutionaries in at least three countries where repression was immense, and where people refused to take up arms after the nonviolent precedents in Tunisia and in Egypt. In Bahrain, Yemen and Syria, the refusal to resort to violence is a conscious choice of hundreds of thousands…
Introduction to Middle Eastern Law

Executed in 1980, Sadr was the most articulate thinker and a major political actor in the revival of Shi'i learning, which placed Najaf in Southern Iraq at its centre. Dr Chibli Mallat examines the intellectual development of Sadr and…
