Third, this system facilitates financial inclusion by offering less privileged parts of the society access to finance based on profit–loss sharing agreements rather than debt financing conditional on the provision of collateral.

Islamic Finance

The Regulatory Challenge

"Islamic Finance: The Regulatory Challenge…is therefore timely and a truly welcome addition to the growing literature on this subject…I congratulate the two professors for their fine contribution to the evolving art and science of the regulation of Islamic finance." —Dr. Zeti Akhtar Aziz, Governor, Bank Negara Malaysia "The World's financial regulators have taken too long to appreciate the importance of adapting their regulatory frameworks to the needs of the fast growing Islamic finance sector. Simon Archer and Rifaat Ahmed, the leaders in the field, have put together a fascinating collection of essays which show just what has to be done. It is a very timely book indeed." —Howard Davies, Director, London School of Economics "The emergence of Islamic finance as a major force in the world financial system has focused attention on regulatory issues. This book, edited by Professor Archer and Professor Rifaat, two of the most respected figures in the field, is an important point of reference for those who have to deal with these issues, whether in regulatory authorities, or in the financial institutions themselves." —Professor William Blair QC, Grays Inn, London "There is now great interest, both in financial and legal circles, in reliable and authoritative texts on Islamic finance. I have no doubt that the availability of Islamic Finance: The Regulatory Challenge will be warmly welcomed by those who provide financial and legal services. The work will be of great assistance to them." —The Rt Hon the Lord Woolf of Barnes, Law Lord and former Lord Chief Justice of England & Wales

This book address issues such as: Why are the frameworks devised for the conventional financial sector unsuitable for Islamic financial services? What is the nature of risks in Islamic banking?

Islamic Finance

The New Regulatory Challenge

From the world's foremost authorities on the subject, the number-one guide to Islamic finance revised and updated for a post-crisis world Because it is entirely equity-based, rather than credit-based, Islamic finance is immune to the speculative bubbles and runaway volatility typical of Western finance. Especially now, in the wake of the global financial crisis, this has made them increasingly attractive to institutional investors, asset managers and hedge funds in search of more stable alternatives to conventional financial products. With interest in Islamic finance swiftly spreading beyond the Muslim world, the need among finance and investment professionals has never been greater for timely and authoritative information about the rules governing Islamic finance. This thoroughly updated and revised second edition of the premier guide to regulatory issues in Islamic finance satisfies that need. Addresses the need for banks to develop common Islamic-based international accounting and auditing standards Clearly explains the key differences between Shari'ah rulings, standardization of acceptable banking practices, and the development of standardized financial products Explores the role of the Shari'ah Boards in establishing common rules regarding the permissibility of financial instruments and markets Offers guidance for regulators seeking to adapt their regulatory frameworks to the needs of the fast-growing Islamic finance sector

This book, edited by Professor Archer and Professor Karim, two of the most respected figures in the field, is an important point of reference for those who have to deal with these issues, whether in regulatory authorities or in the ...

Worlds of E-Commerce

Economic, Geographical and Social Dimensions

Worlds of E-Commerce Economic, Geographical and Social Dimensions THOMAS R. LEINBACH and STANLEY D. BRUNN, both of the University of Kentucky, USA Worlds of Electronic Commerce attempts to capture the enormous international impact of the recent explosion in information and communication technologies. It stands alone as the first book to tackle the major economic, social, and political issues that electronic commerce raises from interdisciplinary and international perspectives. Including contributions from leading international scholars from geography, economics, and public policy, it addresses theoretical and conceptual issues and presents case studies on how retailing, job searches, banking and finance, telecommunications, and government regulation are changing with the introduction and diffusion of the Internet and various electronic services. References to rapid developments in these fields are drawn from the United States, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Japan, Singapore, Australia, Russia, and the developing world. The implications of these developments on consumer behaviour, existing and new firms, regulatory agencies, and interstate economic development are also discussed. In summary, the book presents an excellent background for those wanting scholarly treatments of (a) the background of e-commerce, (b) the growing importance of Information and Communication Technologies, and (c) case studies related to specific services making use of e-commerce.

Delivering Voice Over Frame Relay and ATM

Develop cost-effective, long-term solutions for packetized voice Analysts agree that within the next decade virtually all telecommunication traffic will travel over packet networks. Should your packetized voice be delivered over layer 2 networks such as ATM or frame relay, or over layer 3 IP networks? What are the challenges associated with ATM and frame relay? Drawing upon years of practical and research experience with both voice over ATM and voice over frame relay, the authors consider the advantages and disadvantages of frame relay and ATM versus IP networks. The book covers engineering requirements in depth and suggests likely interim steps for scaling up to a voice over data network by providing: * A telephony tutorial for network managers * Comparative assessments of voice over frame relay, ATM, and the Internet * Overviews of all the enabling technologies involved * In-depth coverage of voice characteristics, compression standards, and QoS * An extensive case study illustrating the pros and cons of voice over data * Guidelines to help you decide when (or whether) to invest in voice over data technology, and how to choose the best type for your organization.
