About this course
Consider the relationship between religion, authority and governance in Shia Islam. The study begins with the foundations of political authority, establishing the questions that shape its discussion of rulers, justice and religious responsibility.
The next lessons examine justice and the issue of serving unjust governments, then turn to Islamic perspectives on migration and citizenship. These subjects connect the foundations of political authority with questions about participation in government and membership in a wider political community.
