RESEARCH AREAS

 

Political Economy and Socio-Scientific World-System, Epistemological Problems of Economic Theory, Institutions and Policy with special focus on Islamic Political Economy and World-Systems: theory and application in the areas of ethico-economics and Islamic political economy and world-system concerning economic development, international economics, money and capital markets, comparative economic systems, institutional economics, epistemological and ontological foundations, sustainable development paradigm, economic models, socio-scientific issues, interactions between social, institutional and economic issues in the framework of world-system studies.

 

Socio-Scientific Interactive Systems & Ethico-Economics in Islamic Perspectives: epistemological foundations of socio-scientific paradigms, social economics, political philosophy and economics, analytical treatment of socio-scientific interactive systems.

 

Application of the above two areas in theoretical and applied problems: socio-scientific interactive systems, comparative development studies, ecology as socio-scientific system, international economics, social/public policy, welfare economics and social choice theory, manpower economics, human resource development, quantitative economic modeling, and epistemological problems of economics, money and capital markets.

 

MY ORIGINAL CONTRIBUTIONS

 

I am one of the original contributors to the field of Islamic economics since 1974. I am the contemporary pioneer of the field of Islamic Political Economy and Islamic World-System. I have developed this field analytically as a Tawhidi (Oneness of Allah) epistemological investigation of the theory, methodology, analysis and applications of the emanating knowledge-based process order to interactive systems involving economy, society, institutions, environment, globalization and the socio-scientific domain. Thus I have pioneered the Tawhidi epistemological approach, the systems-oriented process-based treatment, the socio-scientific concept in varied fields of political economy ranging from theory, development, international economics, social policy, institutionalism, all the way to money and capital markets. All these are centered on the knowledge-based epistemological investigation of `globally interactive, integrative and evolutionary systems’ emanating from the epistemology of unity of knowledge.

 

Furthermore, I consider my original and pioneering contributions to be in the area of universalizing the methodology of the Tawhidi knowledge-centered systemic treatment of processual order in `global' systems to be paradigmatically viable in all systems-based socio-scientific inquiries both of the unification (evolutionary complex equilibrium) and disequilibrium types.
