Political Thought in Contemporary Shi‘a Islam

Muhammad Mahdi Shams al-Din

By: Farah W. Kawtharani

This book offers an intellectual history of one of the leading Shi’i thinkers and religious leaders of the 20th-century in Lebanon, Shaykh Muhammad Mahdi Shams al-Din. The author examines his role as the foremost figure of Shi’i intellectual life, a key associate of Musa al-Sadr, and president of the Islamic Shi‘i Supreme Council of Lebanon, having maintained the independence of this institution until his death from the domination of Shi‘i political parties. The core of the book consists of three interrelated main themes that constitute the major threads of Shams al-Din’s intellectual legacy: a discussion of Islamic government involving a critique of Khomeini’s theory of wilāyat al-faqīh, the role of Islam within civil government, and the necessity for political integration of the Shi‘a in their Arab nation-states to protect them from policies that raise doubts over their political allegiance to their respective countries. The project will appeal to scholars, students, academics, and researchers in Middle Eastern politics and history.

Diagnosing Human Capital as a Binding Constraint to Growth

Tests, Symptoms and Prescriptions

By: Miguel Angel Santos,Farah Hani

The empirical literature on the contributions of human capital investments to economic growth shows mixed results. While evidence from OECD countries demonstrates that human capital accumulation is associated with growth accelerations, the substantial efforts of developing countries to improve access to and quality of education, as a means for skill accumulation, did not translate into higher income per capita. In this Element, we propose a framework, building on the principles of 'growth diagnostics', to enable practitioners to determine whether human capital investments are a priority for a country's growth strategy. We then discuss and exemplify different tests to diagnose human capital in a place, drawing on the Harvard Growth Lab's experience in different development context, and discuss various policy options to address skill shortages.

Evasion

A Journey To Remember

By: Farah K

Aria Louise Smith is young, beautiful and courageous but she’s trapped. She’s been trapped inside the walls of what she calls the house of hell for over ten years and all she’s ever wanted was to escape. One night, she did. For the first time, she made it out. She knew her aunt wouldn’t involve the police in her disappearance so she tries to start a new life. Although she knew she had to go back for the sake of her father’s years of hard work, she lives in the moment, while the freedom she’s been so obsessed on feeling lasts. She thinks she won’t be found, but she has no clue about what she’ll be facing, or who. (Terfaktab Media)
