{"product_id":"9781118178904","title":"Globalization and Islamic Finance: Convergence, Prospects and Challenges","description":"This is an extremely valuable book written by three highly qualified scholars whose credentials for writing such a book are difficult to match. The timing of the book is also perfect, having come at a time when the worst financial crisis in living memory has intensified the quest for reform of the international architecture. The proposals made by the authors should go a long way in not only reforming the system but also in accelerating the move towards financial globalization and convergence of the conventional and Islamic financial systems.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDr. Umer Chapra\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eProminent Scholar of Islamic Economics and currently Research Advisor\u003cbr\u003e Islamic Research and Training Institute (IRTI), Islamic Development Bank (IDB)\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGlobalization and Islamic Finance\u003c\/i\u003e, by three well-respected authors in Islamic finance, provides a thought-provoking analysis of an important and topical issue, particularly, given the global impact of the current financial and economic crises. The book is the first attempt to make a compelling case of convergence between globalization and Islamic finance. Askari, Iqbal and Mirakhor should be praised for this serious effort, which is a must-read for academics and practitioners interested in Islamic finance.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eProfessor Rifaat Ahmed Abdel Karim\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eSecretary General\u003cbr\u003e Islamic Financial Services Board (IFSB)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book has a robust discussion of the growth and spread of Islamic finance within the umbrella of globalization.
