Islam, Law and the State in the Philippines

以菲律宾为例，该项目计划对一个具有全球意义但也与澳大利亚直接相关的问题提供见解：穆斯林少数群体如何利用沙拉寻求合法性和身份认同，以及冲突在这一过程中的作用。它还计划探索他们对现代民族国家法律制度的反对。该项目旨在对菲律宾实施伊斯兰法律的国家制度和穆斯林少数民族开发的替代制度进行全面的当代描述，这些穆斯林少数民族在努力脱离该国的过程中使用暴力，并威胁到了地区安全。

Using the Philippines as a case study, the project plans to offer insights into a question that is of global significance but also of direct relevance to Australia: how Muslim minorities use sharî’a in their search for legitimacy and identity and the role of conflict in that process. It also plans to explore their opposition to the legal systems of modern nation states. The project aims to provide a thorough contemporary description of both the state system for the application of Islamic law in the Philippines and alternative systems developed by Muslim minorities who have used violence in their efforts to secede from that state, and have threatened regional security.
