Managing Marital Disputes in Malaysia

Islamic Mediators and Conflict Resolution in the Syariah Courts

By: Sven Cederoth Cederroth,Sharifa Zaleha Syed Hassan

A trend found in many Islamic societies in recent years has been the increasing regulation of family life by Islamic law and a corresponding move away from customary law and informal conflict resolution procedures. The situation in Malaysia, particularly in urban Malay society, is no exception here. Several studies already exist of the nature and extent of Malaysia's Islamic judicial system but the general tendency has been to ignore the actual operation of the syariah courts and related institutions. This study addresses this need with an in-depth analysis of the key area of intra-family conflict and demonstrates that, although formally the counsellor, kadi and judge have defined roles for conflict resolution, in practice much flexibility is evident in the use of consultation, conciliation, mediation, arbitration and adjudication techniques. This study will be of special interest to legal anthropologists and those scholars interested in the increasing application of Islamic law in many different countries.

Development Aid to Nepal

Issues and Options in Energy, Health, Education, Democracy and Human Rights

By: Sven Cederoth Cederroth,Harald O. Skarr

An ongoing challenge for Western aid projects in the Third World is that all too often results do not meet expectations. Determined to address this issue at the outset before committing greater sums to its aid to Nepal, in 1996 the Norwegian Foreign Ministry commissioned an extensive analysis of development needs and concrete aid achievements for that country. Now substantially reworked and expanded with data not previously available to international scholars, this study of the energy, health and education sectors in Nepal - as well as the situation there of democracy and human rights - will be of especial interest to researchers and NGOs working in the area.

Survival and Profit in Rural Java

The Case of an East Javanese Village

By: Sven Cederroth

The shift from communalism to individualism in rural Java has had many effects, including the creation of a landless class of people expelled from agriculture and the rise of a rural middle class. In this work, Cederroth aims to examine contemporary changes affecting all strata of rural Javanese society. While the focus is primarily on economic change, cultural and political questions are also brought into consideration.
