Many of the world''s states—from Algeria to Ireland to the United States—are the result of robust national movements that achieved independence. Many other national movements have failed in their attempts to achieve statehood, including the Basques, the Kurds, and the Palestinians. In Rebel Power, Peter Krause offers a powerful new theory to explain this variation focusing on the internal balance of power among nationalist groups, who cooperate with each other to establish a new state while simultaneously competing to lead it. The most powerful groups push to achieve states while they are in position to rule them, whereas weaker groups unlikely to gain the spoils of office are likely to become spoilers, employing risky, escalatory violence to forestall victory while they improve their position in the movement hierarchy. Hegemonic movements with one dominant group are therefore more likely to achieve statehood than internally competitive, fragmented movements due to their greater pursuit of victory and lesser use of counterproductive violence. Krause conducted years of fieldwork in government and nationalist group archives in the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe, as well as more than 150 interviews with participants in the Palestinian, Zionist, Algerian, and Irish national movements. This research generated comparative longitudinal analyses of these four national movements involving 40 groups in 44 campaigns over a combined 140 years of struggle. Krause identifies new turning points in the history of these movements and provides fresh explanations for their use of violent and nonviolent strategies, as well as their numerous successes and failures. Rebel Power is essential reading for understanding not only the history of national movements but also the causes and consequences of contentious collective action today, from the Arab Spring to the civil wars and insurgencies in Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, and beyond.

Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Orientalism / Sinology - Islamic Studies, grade: 2,0, University of Exeter, language: English, abstract: Thinking about where Islamic Law comes from, we have to distinguish between the scientific side, fiqh, and the religious side, the revealed texts. With God as the legislator, society has to incorporate the given rules into daily life. However they are not always clear, so frictions are attempted to be solved using the four sources of Islamic Law. Hence, Islamic Law can not exist just as a fixed statute, which regulates rights and duties of Muslims. It is more a method to interpret what the law includes, influenced strongly by the opinions of different legal scholars. There exists therefore an uncertainty in what the law finally includes, because of disagreements between scholars, called ikhtilᾱf.

Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Law - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,7, University of Exeter, language: English, abstract: The text “Irshᾱd al-Fuhῡl ilᾱ tahqῑq al-haqq min ̔ilm al-uṣῡl” is written by Muhammad ̔Alῑ b. Muhammad Al-Shawkᾱnῑ. He is a Sunnῑ legal scholar, writer and teacher from Yemen, who lived from 1760 until 1849. Al-Shawkᾱnῑ is seen as one of the most influential modern Islamic jurists, which is supported by the qualification of him as ''mudjaddid'' or ''regenerator'' by Rashīd Ridā. Al-Shawkᾱnῑ achieved a good reputation by working on defining requirements to attain the different status as a jurist. He is described as “an ardent opponent on the restrictions of ijmᾱʿ” and known “for his support for the greater use of the ijtihᾱd”. This text fits in his released literature about the requirements of attaining different levels of legal scholarship. Roughly translated, the title means: “Guideline for the experts to achieve the truth in the science of the principles of the law“. Al-Shawkᾱnῑ gives in his text basic conditions, which are required to be a mujtahid. In my opinion a mujtahid is a Muslim jurist, who has the ability to perform ijtihᾱd. Al-Shawkᾱnῑ specifies what a mujtahid is in paragraph two. In his opinion, a mujtahid must try to acquire an opinion of a legal rule and have the ability to derive legal rules by working with the legal sources. Obligatory for this are adulthood and sanity. After this section, he starts listing the conditions, but obviously, adulthood and sanity are also requirements to be a mujtahid. The difference to the following conditions is, that this inherent quality can not be changed by the prospective mujtahid in contrast to the following acquirable conditions

Discusses coverage of the Eichmann trial in 1961 by the German press. There was a feeling of uncertainty and helplessness amongst German journalists regarding their capacity to deal with the trial without damaging the reputation of Germany throughout the world, as well as a reluctance to cope with German guilt. As the trial progressed, however, there was more of a willingness to confront the dark German past. Unlike the FRG, the DDR did not deal with the topic at that time but only accused West Germany of serving as a refuge for former Nazis. Argues that the capture of Eichmann and the trial proceedings were important building blocks for Germany''s coming to terms with the past. Furthermore, during the 1950s-60s there was an evolution from refusal of remembrance, through an integrated commemoration policy, to coping with the Nazi crimes and the resulting responsibiltiy and liability. The Eichmann trial was one of the stimuli which led to this trend.
