Abstract

Justice is the paramount value in Islam. A concept of freedom that incorporates justice and the associated model of good governance would be inherently suitable for predominantly Muslim societies such as those of the Arab states. The pure model of freedom, in its comprehensive sense, and the model of good governance guaranteeing such freedom, both face significant conceptual and practical challenges in Arab countries, due to a combination of global, regional, and local circumstances.
