Review:

In nine chapters first presented as papers at the International Conference on Islamic Banking and Finance, held in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, in June 2012, business scholars from Asia, the Middle East, Australia, and the UK examine the role of Islamic banking and finance. They discuss the regulatory and developing role of Islamic banking, including the central banks' regulatory role, the Shari'ah governance rules applied in the Malaysia Islamic banking arena, and the impact of the international financial crisis on Middle Eastern and North African countries; the developing role of non-Islamic banking finance and the Islamic financing of infrastructure projects and how to maximize this role, including the integration of Takaful insurance in the domestic market, the roles of Islamic stockbroking and insurance, and implementing project financing in Indonesian infrastructure development; and determinants of effective Islamic finance contributions, through case studies of the impact of mergers and acquisitions on financial performance in England, the attitude of Muslim and non-Muslim customers toward Islamic banks in India, and the fundamental basis of strategic effective direction for the privatization process in Iran.
