Encyclopedia of Ruling Dynasties in Islamic History: The Just Despot

This encyclopedia is an extensive scholarly project documenting the history of ruling dynasties throughout the Islamic world over more than fourteen centuries. The author examines the emergence of Islamic states and emirates, the evolution of governance systems, and the mechanisms of succession through inheritance, selection, or conquest. It also analyzes the political, economic, and social factors behind the success or decline of states. Covering hundreds of political entities across the Middle East, Al-Andalus, North Africa, and other Islamic regions, the work serves as a valuable reference for researchers and readers interested in Islamic political history and governance.
