Resumen

El pensamiento político islámico moderno ha lidiado con la naturaleza de la autoridad estatal mediante el uso y la remodelación de las herramientas del pensamiento político y jurídico clásico. Esa es una tradición que brinda una guía útil sobre lo que un gobernante debe y no debe hacer. Pero, si es útil para la ética del gobierno, brinda una orientación mucho menos segura (y se vuelve casi invisible) en lo tocante a las cuestiones de administración y política. El wali al-amr – el líder de la comunidad (un término idéntico al utilizado para el tutor legal de un menor de edad) –, ha pasado de significar un fallo individual, a un Estado burocrático y político moderno, sin que la transformación haya sido advertida. Este artículo explora las formas resultantes en las que las prácticas y los conceptos islámicos, desarrollados para un aparato estatal rudimentario, operan en un mundo en el cual los Estados administran y desarrollan políticas en una gran variedad de asuntos públicos.
