Vulnerability is a term that can be studied from diff erent dimensions – the social , legal , economic and political . This book explores these dimensions and captures the vulnerabilities of particular groups in Malaysia – the transgenders , women , children , aboriginal and indigenous people , the rural fi sher folk , the stateless and the economically disempowered . And mirroring the spectrum of “ vulnerable groups ” defi ned by the United Nations Global Compact in the 2016 Sustainable Development Goals Report , the authors highlight the unique features that portray vulnerabilities – including gender , age , indigeneity , socioeconomic status and ethnicity ( SDG 10 Reduce Inequalities ).

DISPUTE RESOLUTION IN ISLAMIC FINANCE : ALTERNATIVES TO LITIGATION ?
Editors ADNAN TRAKIC , JOHN BENSON & PERVAIZ K . AHMED
This book addresses how best to handle disputes within Islamic fi nance in a less confrontational manner and ensure such disagreements are settled in a just and fair way ( SDG 16 Peace , Justice and Strong Institutions ). There has been little focus on how disputes within Islamic fi nance are resolved . As a result , many of these disputes are resolved through litigation , notwithstanding that the various jurisdictions and court systems are generally poorly equipped to handle such matters . This book focuses on fi ve centres of Islamic fi nance : the United Kingdom , the United States of America , Malaysia , the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates .
