Reviews
'A valuable contribution to the broader debate on Islam and politics as well as to the study of governance.' -- Manara Magazine
'"The Rule is for None but Allah" focusses on one of the most relevant issues in terrorism and Middle Eastern studies: governance. The contributors are a refreshingly interesting and heterogenous mix. I cannot think of another book that covers so much ground.' -- Lorenzo Vidino, Director of the Program on Extremism, George Washington University, and author of 'The New Muslim Brotherhood in the West'
'One of the most comprehensive and informative studies of Islamist governance to date, with fifteen rich case studies from around the world. The diverse authors persuasively demonstrate the importance of social welfare and justice for the legitimacy of state and non-state actors.' -- Mara Revkin, Associate Professor of Law, Duke University
'Containing numerous compelling and fascinating case studies, this is an important contribution to the study of Islamist governance. Engaging, ambitious and well written.' -- Raphael Lefevre, Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Oxford, and author of 'Jihad in the City'
'A fresh take on Islamist perspectives, this volume brings together case studies ranging from the Taliban to the Muslim Brotherhood. By looking at how groups emerge and pursue constitutional means, it provides innovative knowledge on Islamists' evolving strategic aims.' -- Gillian Kennedy, Lecturer in the Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Southampton, and author of 'From Independence to Revolution: Egypt's Islamists and the Contest for Power'
