Abstract

The development of the concept of Islamic Public Administration (IPA) requires consideration of its portability across spatial and temporal contexts as well as secular-religious divides. The content of IPA has shifted over time, and debate over its meanings and key attributes has been a consistent feature of the history of Muslim societies. This means a hard-edged IPA concept constituted by immutable structural features to enable valid and reliable observation over time is likely to be defeated. This article argues instead for a thematic IPA framework that is relatively underspecified to allow for context sensitivity and facilitates the analysis of enduring historical dilemmas of Islamic governance. Such a framework helps show how IPA differs from other public administration traditions; specifically, its self-conscious reinvention by appeals to Islamic theology, law and ethics; and its grounding in values that are not commensurable with secular, liberal “public” values.

伊斯兰公共行政传统的变迁:观察碰撞、吸收与适应的过程
伊斯兰公共行政概念的发展需要考虑其在空间和时间背景以及世俗宗教分歧方面的可移植性。IPA的内容随着时间的推移而变化,对其含义和关键属性的争论一直是穆斯林社会历史的一贯特征。这意味着由不可变的结构特征构成的硬边IPA概念很可能会被击败,从而能够随着时间的推移进行有效和可靠的观察。本文主张建立一个相对不明确的专题IPA框架,以考虑上下文敏感性,并有助于分析伊斯兰治理的持久历史困境。这一框架有助于显示IPA如何不同于其他公共行政传统;具体地说,它通过诉诸伊斯兰神学、法律和伦理而自觉地进行改造;它的基础价值观与世俗的、自由的“公共”价值观是不可比较的。
