A society with a social background cannot avoid social symptoms when faced with Islamic law. Changes in Islamic law until now are still reaping the pros and cons between fundamentalist and contextualist groups, each of whom has its own views on Islamic legal texts. This study is a literature review with a conceptual approach. The results of this study indicate that the dynamics of changing Islamic law are strongly influenced by social dynamics. This is evident when Islamic law is exposed to a changing social reality. In order to accommodate social change, Islamic law, with the concept of maqasid sharia, is able to answer the needs of social law without having to leave the principles of sharia.","PeriodicalId":416734,"journal":{"name":"Comparing Peace Processes","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127601456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, the province of Gipuzkoa, within the Basque Country, has also developed its own gender Equality Act, which regulates in detail the gender impact assessment process. Gender impact assessment was applied for the rst time in 2007 by the Basque government, when the assessment procedure was established. Since then, reports have been issued on more than 500 decrees and laws. After 7 years, gender impact assessment is a consolidated practice very strongly embedded within the Basque regional government. Subsequently, the Diputación Foral de Gipuzkoa (government of the Basque province of Gipuzkoa) developed a more tailored procedure for gender impact assessments, which was approved at the senior political level in 2011. Since then, gender impact assessments have also been carried out at this regional level.

Violent conflict often erupts when there is an unresolved dispute between local actors—clans, political leaders, military units, police, insurgent groups, and criminal networks—that cannot be mitigated through existing formal structures or state intervention. The Asia Foundation supports Mindanao-based research institutions and nongovernment organizations (NGOs) both in in-depth diagnostic activities and strategic interventions that enable communities to monitor and prevent the escalation of conflicts.","PeriodicalId":416734,"journal":{"name":"Comparing Peace Processes","volume":"118 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116351404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
