NASSIR Posted May 14, 2009 The Somali author Hassan provides an erudite, clear, engaging and almost comprehensive account of the origin of Federalism and Islamic Governance, early civilizations and the multifaceted process that make up regional and global phenomena of social and political integration. The author argues federalism has its roots in Islam and that all other civilizations' previous form of leadership and administration were structured around a central authority. It is a very interesting piece and the beautiful academic language with which it is conveyed, i.e. the mother tongue, makes it exquisite and enjoyable read. It even helps those with a shallow understanding of the concepts of Federalism and Confederalism. PART I PART II Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
