  • Peace with Justiceby Dr Andrew Buchanan

    Palgrave Macmillan Ltd. 2000; US$ 136.00

    Peace with Justice is an analysis of the political, legal and economic viability of the current Israeli NPLO peace process, and an evaluation of the agreements made between 13 September 1993 and 17 January 1997. It assesses the attempt by the Israeli and Palestinian communities to shape a common future through an analysis of the effectiveness of the negotiated agreements as an instrument for, and as an example of, conflict resolution. more...

  • Courting Conflictby Lisa Hajjar

    University of California Press 2005; US$ 15.95

    Israel's military court system, a centerpiece of Israel's apparatus of control in the West Bank and Gaza since 1967, has prosecuted hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. This authoritative book provides a rare look at an institution that lies both figuratively and literally at the center of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Lisa Hajjar has conducted in-depth interviews with dozens of Israelis and Palestinians?including judges, prosecutors, defense lawyers, defendants, and translators?about their experiences and practices to explain how this system functions, and how its functioning has affected the conflict. Her lucid, richly detailed, and theoretically sophisticated study highlights the array of problems and debates that characterize Israel's... more...

  • Judicial Reform and Reorganization in 20th Century Iranby Majid Mohammadi

    Taylor & Francis 2007; US$ 113.00

    Iran is now at the center of political and social developments in the Middle East. This book examines the reform of the judicial system in 20th century Iran and is the first to relate state-building process with the rule of law promotion and judicial reform in the region. This subject occupies the critical juncture of three developments in the contemporary study of Iranian society as an important and early case of social revolution and reform in the Middle East: the state-building process in a non-Western country throughout the 20th century, the incorporation of a non-Western Muslim country into the Western legal framework through codification and transplantation (1911-1979), and the Islamicization process after this critical social development... more...

  • Constitutional Politics in the Middle Eastby Said Amir Arjomand

    Hart 2008; US$ 117.60

    This book is the first comparative and interdisciplinary study of constitutional politics and constitution-making in the Middle East. The historical background and setting are fully explored in two substantial essays by Linda Darling and Saïd Amir Arjomand, placing the contemporary experience in the contexts, respectively, of the ancient Middle Eastern legal and political tradition and of the nineteenth and twentieth century legal codification and political modernization. These are followed by Ann Mayer's general analysis of the treatment of human rights in relation to Islam in Middle Eastern constitutions, and Nathan Brown's comparative scrutiny of the process of constitution-making in Iran, Afghanistan and Iraq with reference... more...
