The model of Islamic insurance policy is based on the principles of mutual cooperation, brotherhood and solidarity. This timely volume contradicts the widely-held belief that insurance policies oppose the teachings of Islam, exploring ways in which it coheres with Shari’ah law. The book explores Takaful, an insurance paradigm that is in accordance with Islamic principles and suits the needs of modern Islamic economies and communities.

Religion and Finance
Comparing the Approaches of Judaism, Christianity and Islam
Mervyn K. Lewis and Ahmad Kaleem
Judaism, Christianity and Islam all impose obligations and constraints upon the rightful use of wealth and earthly resources. All three of these religions have well-researched views on the acceptability of practices such as usury but the principles and practices of other, non-interest, financial instruments are less well known. This book examines each of these three major world faiths, considering their teachings, social precepts and economic frameworks, which are set out as a guide for the financial dealings and economic behaviour of their adherents.

Law 2018
Edited by Nadirsyah Hosen
The Research Handbook on Islamic Law and Society provides an examination of the role of Islamic law as it applies in Muslim and non-Muslim societies through legislation, fatwa, court cases, sermons, media, or scholarly debate. It illuminates the intersection of social, political, economic and cultural factors that inform Islamic Law across a number of jurisdictions. Chapters evaluate when and how actors and institutions have turned to Islamic law to address problems faced by societies in Muslim and, in some cases, Western states.

Market-based instruments such as emissions trading systems put a price on carbon emissions as a way of addressing climate change. Increasing production costs have led to fears of carbon leakage and have generated increased interest in WTO law, in particular in the area of border tax adjustments and subsidies. Research in the area of carbon labels was more in vogue several years ago, but owing to the recent developments in WTO case law regarding Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), and in light of the proliferation of Emissions Trading Systems around the globe, it is high time to re-examine carbon labels and how they are to be assessed from a law and economics perspective. This chapter explores the legal risks and regulatory opportunities of carbon labels under WTO law, and whether WTO law follows law and economic insights.
