I am extremely honoured and privileged to be contacted by the learned author - Dr. Emilia Justyna Powell, Associate Professor of Political Science and Concurrent Associate Professor of Law at the University of Notre Dame - to review her scholarly book entitled: “Islamic Law and International Law: Peaceful Resolution of Disputes” published by Oxford University Press. In fact, it is a daunting task for any scholar to embark on an academic journey investigating the nexus of Islamic law and international law empirically and scientifically. As far as my humble reading experience is concerned, this is a pioneering work which identifies similarities and differences between Islamic law and international law in peaceful resolution of disputes and investigates the attitudes of the Islamic milieu empirically in international conflict management venues in the English language. It consists of seven chapters in 328 pages with an excellent index.
