Lund University leads a new network researching law, religion, and governance in post-imperial Muslim-majority societies. Eleven European universities are participating with 15 PhD students. Four of these will be based in Lund.
The grant will fund the new doctoral network MINARET. The researchers will study how constitutional change unfolds in Muslim-majority societies shaped by imperial legacies.
The project will focus on how Islamic values, legal traditions, and governance structures interact to shape legitimacy, citizenship, and security.
