This book is a unique and important book that is likely to quickly become the main reference point on law, Islam, and the state in the Philippines. It fills an important gap and will probably find its most receptive audience amongst those interested primarily in political science and law. It will also appeal to those working on Islamic law, comparativists and those interested in regional studies.
