The field of governance, both in policy and in administration, encompasses various sciences and traditions to address the demands and challenges of the human social structure. However, current international standards in this area are largely defined by the dominant Western paradigm at the exclusion of all other religious and cultural traditions. This project will seek to uncover the perspectives of these otherwise underrepresented and underexplored institutions that craft, coordinate, and deliver public services for and with their constituents for a better life, based on their localized Islamic tradition.
