Exploring the Interplay of Islamic Law and the birth of Secular Governance in India
In a thought-provoking event, renowned scholars from around the world convened to discuss contemporary non-state, Muslim civil dispute resolution systems. The discussion, hosted by the Centre d'Études et de Recherches Internationales de Sciences Po (CEIAS) and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS)/Sciences Po-CERI, was published in the Journal of Islamic State Practices in International Law, Volume 6.
Aminah Mohammad-Arif served as the Discutante for the event, while Christophe Jaffrelot, a distinguished scholar, held the role of Scientific Director. The keynote speaker was Jeff A. Redding, a Professor of Law at Saint Louis University in the United States.
Professor Redding has made significant contributions to the field of comparative law, Islam, secularism, legal pluralism, and family law. His recent publication, "Institutional v. Liberal Contexts for Contemporary Non-State, Muslim Civil Dispute Resolution Systems," was featured in the same journal.
In addition to his academic pursuits, Professor Redding is a member of the international research group "Just India" and was an invited guest at the Institut des Hautes Études sur la Justice (IHESJ) in 2012.
The discussion also included Prof. Jagannath Panda, an expert in South Asian and Indo-Pacific affairs. Prof. Panda is the Head of the Stockholm Center for South Asian and Indo-Pacific Affairs (SCSA-IPA) and focuses on India’s relations with major Indo-Pacific powers, China-India relations, and the broader strategic dynamics involving China, NATO, and the EU in the Indo-Pacific region.
The publication of this significant discussion, which spans pages 1-25 of the Journal of Islamic State Practices in International Law, Volume 6, dated 2010, marks a valuable contribution to the ongoing discourse on non-state, Muslim civil dispute resolution systems.
In the discourse on non-state, Muslim civil dispute resolution systems, Professor Jeff A. Redding, a scholar from Saint Louis University, presented his views, particularly on the topic of his recent publication, "Institutional v.
