Citizenship in the Arab World: Kin, Religion and Nation-State

The book is the fruit of five years of on-site research on citizenship in the Arab world. It takes a broader legal perspective to the multifaceted reality of nationality and citizenship. The methodology employed builds on the interdisciplinary approach of comparative legal studies, and brings in theories, concepts, and insights from anthropology, political science, Arab and Islamic studies, linguistics and sociology. The work relies on a broad range of Western and Arab references, and all sources and documents were directly accessed in their original languages; this is particularly relevant for Arab legislation (all in-text reference has been translated by the author, and the original has been inserted using scientific transliteration).

Présentation de l’éditeur

Ce livre est le fruit de cinq années de recherche sur place sur la citoyenneté dans le monde arabe. Il adopte une perspective juridique plus large de la réalité multiforme de la nationalité et de la citoyenneté. La méthodologie employée s’appuie sur l’approche interdisciplinaire des études juridiques comparatives et fait appel à des théories, des concepts et des idées issus de l’anthropologie, des sciences politiques, des études arabes et islamiques, de la linguistique et de la sociologie. L’ouvrage s’appuie sur un large éventail de références occidentales et arabes, et toutes les sources et les documents ont été directement consultés dans leur langue d’origine ; ceci est particulièrement pertinent pour la législation arabe (toutes les références en texte ont été traduites par l’auteur, et l’original a été inséré grâce à la translittération scientifique).
