Purpose The purpose of this study is to critically understand and to find out the social political role of the Acehnese ulamas (Muslim scholars) in solving and coping with social issues faced by contemporary Acehnese society. Design/methodology/approach This study was conducted in the province of Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam, especially in the districts of Aceh Utara, Pidie, Aceh Besar, Aceh Selatan and Aceh Timur. The locations were chosen based on the consideration of the objective conditions that many ulamas are dwelling and easily be found within these areas. Besides, the locations are historically believed as the origins of the Acehnese that are so diverse. In addition, a large number of social problems frequently arose within those regions. The subjects of this research study were a number of community determined by purposive sampling technique. The instruments used for the data collection in this research were observation, in-depth interview and library study; and interpretative understanding was also used to analyze the data. Findings The existence of the Acehnese ulamas represents the government’s recognition to word the traditional institutional in Aceh. However, some people think that institutions are used by government to exploit ulama as the mediator between government and society. For the Acehnese ulamas, the presence of the institution could be used to consolidate their power for the benefit of the people. Originality/value The originality of this research can be seen from the effort to explain how contemporary Acehnese society views Theologian (ulama) in solving social problems, which were little studied by previous researchers. This question is important to examine, given the position of ulama in people’s lives since the pre-independence period and during the social revolution that had occurred in Aceh until the early 1970s was very dominant. That is, even the symbolic world of Acehnese society formed through the dominance of ulama discourse has structured how people’s responses typically must be expressed.

The discourse on waqf recently appears the back to the surface. It not only discusses about the opinion of the fiqh scholars who have no uniform about understanding and nature waqf  itself, but also to reform and optimize waqf  in order to do more, namely to superintend the social problems of society, related to the prosperity of the economy of the people. Therefore, contextualization and repositioning of waqf institutions becomes a necessiry for immediate implementation. The function and role of waqf is very large in supporting the development and progress of the muslims. Therefore the management of waqf must be able to be optimized. Tragically the management of waqf in Indonesia is still not maximized, so there are some waqf property abandoned in its management, some even missing. This is due to the waqf management still uses traditional-consumptive management pattern. Efforts to develop waqf to be productive and productive, there are four things to note; Institutional aspect, accounting aspect, auditing aspect and aspect of nadhir. If these four aspects can be met, then the utilization of waqf will be more efficient. There are several forms of models that can be run by the manager of waqf, such as by holding Sharia banks as a partner with schema of mura>bah}ah, istis}na>’, ija>rah muntahiyah bi al-tamli>k (financial leasing with purchase option), muza>ra’ah, qard} al-h}asan, musha>rakah (partnership) and mud}a>rabah muqayyadah.

Key Aspects

Purpose Despite its immense potentials as a sustainable and innovative means to solve specific social problems, the basic concept of the social business model (SBM) advanced by Professor Muhammad Yunus remains unclear to many. There exists no literature that objectively compares this model from empowerment and economic growth perspectives with other seemingly similar concepts, such as social enterprise, non-governmental organization (NGO) and corporate social responsibility. Although many NGOs have been showing increasing interest towards the adoption of the SBM to minimize social problems sustainably, lack of conceptual clarity of the model limits the scope of its adoption in addressing social issues. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach This study is based on a systematic search, analysis and review of literature. It has made use of narrative synthesis of relevant literature on a diverse range of socially oriented models, frameworks and interventions. Findings This study identified five key aspects of social business, namely: business’s mission and outcomes, characteristics, operation, resource utilization and environmental considerations. Based on these five key aspects one may like to infer that unlike other social interventions, the alignment of SBM is specific to empowerment of disadvantaged people leading to sustainable economic growth. Analyzing a range of social business interventions in a developing country, Bangladesh, through the lens five key aspects demonstrates that social business is the most efficient way to sustainably maximize the social benefits and minimize specific social issues poverty of the people affected. Originality/value This study discusses the scopes of adopting SBM for the socially responsible organizations for sustainable empowerment and economic growth in emerging economies.

Subject The increasing political role of the judiciary. Significance With the courts examining cases that could define the future of President Dilma Rousseff's government, the judiciary has recently been in the spotlight -- although increasing judicial participation in politics has become a feature of Brazilian public life in recent years. This has been driven not only by high-profile corruption investigations but also by the courts' growing willingness to make far-reaching policy decisions. Many have welcomed these developments, but critics argue that judges have often ignored the limits of their functions and taken an undue role in politics. Impacts Rules for controversial social issues will increasingly depend on court rulings. The unpopularity of the government and Congress opens space for an 'activist' judiciary. However, a Rousseff removal decided by the courts would be highly divisive.
