This book has been written in Cairo, Damascus and The Hague in the period from 1999 to 2005.
I want to thank all the people who gave their time and energy to make this study and its publication possible, in particular:
my promotores Rudolph Peters and Ted de Boer, who labored tiredlessly to improve my drafts; David Powers of Cornell University, who has edited several articles;
Baudouin Dupret, with whom I shared shisha's and indepth conversations; Mathijs ten Wolde, who dared to take on the publication;
