Permutations of Order: Religion and Law as Contested Sovereignties

This volume makes an important and innovative contribution to current discussions about the relationship between 'religion' and 'law' and brings together theoretically informed case studies from different parts of the world which relate to various types of politico-legal settings and religions. The work transcends the convention of arranging issues according to religious or regional categories, identifying instead theoretically overarching themes.The book will be of interest to researchers and policy-makers seeking a comparative focus on the intersections and disjunctions of 'religion' and 'law'.
