Edward Elgar Publishing has published a new
book on Mohammad Al-Shaybnai’s contribution to Siyar (Islamic International
Law).
ABOUT THE BOOK
Through the analysis of Al-Shaybani’s most
prolific work As-Siyar Al Kabier, this book offers a unique insight into the
classic Islamic perspective on international law. Despite being recognised as
one of the earliest contributors to the field of international law, there has
been little written, in English, on Al-Shaybani’s work. This book will go some
way towards filling the lacuna.
Islamic International Law examines
Al-Shaybani’s work alongside that of other leading scholars such as Augustine,
Gratian, Aquinas, Vitoria and Grotius, proving a full picture of early thinking
on international law. Individual chapters provide discussion on Al-Shaybani’s
writing in relation to war, peace, the consequences of war and diplomatic missions.
Khaled Ramadan Bashir uses contemporary international law vocabulary to enable
the reader to consider Al-Shaybani’s writing in a modern context.
This book will be a useful and unique resource
for scholars in the field of Islamic International law, bringing together and
translating a number of historical sources to form one accessible and coherent
text. Scholars researching the historical and jurisprudential origins of public
international law topics, such as international humanitarian law, just war,
international dispute resolution, asylum and diplomacy will also find the book
to be an interesting and valuable text.
