The conference by Dolors Bramon, professor emeritus at the University of Barcelona, will analyze the principles of Islamic doctrine which all governments that claim to be Islamic must follow when ruling. She will explain the features which define an Islamic government and compare them with the behaviors observed from Islam’s earliest times to the modern day.

It was produced as a result of a series of conferences on this subject held throughout the year of 2021 at Casa Árabe Cordoba and was coordinated by Delfina Serrano. Eleven of the articles included in the monograph are revised versions of the conferences given by their authors during the conference series, whereas the other seven were written by different experts who could not initially participate in the series for organizational reasons but who have been included in
the publication.

She performs research work and produces publications in several arenas: in political and social history she has researched the religious minorities under the Catalan-Aragonese Crown, or in other words the Mudéjars, Jews and their respective converts, and on the Moorish past in what are now Catalan lands, through the translation and interpretation of the Arab chronicles which mention them. In scientific history, she has worked on the world of geographers and Arab geography. In language, she has studied Arab-origin terminology in Hispanic languages and, more specifically, in Catalonia’s language and place names. In terms of Islam, she has dealt with its theology, history and society, and above all the status of Muslim women.
