Buku yang merupakan pengembangan dari Thesis Doktoral di Universitas Aberdeen (United Kingdom) ini menyoroti karya seorang ulama fiqih besar bermazhab Hanafi yaitu Muhammad bin Hasan al-Shaybani yaitu Kitab Siyar al-Kabir. Dalam khazanah fiqih Islam, karya Imam al-Shaybani adalah karya yang sangat monumental dalam fiqih siyar yang mengatur tentang hukum interaksi negara Islam dengan bangsa lain. Fiqih siyar ini sering juga disebut hukum internasional Islam (Islamic international law).Kitab Siyar al-Kabir adalah karya yang sangat penting dalam khazanah Islam karena kemudian diadopsi oleh kekuatan-kekuatan besar Islam yaitu Kekhalifahan Abbasiyah dan juga Turki Utsmani. Mereka ini merupakan tonggak utama kekuatan Islam di hadapan dunia, dan kitab inilah yang memandu bagaimana kedua negara Islam ini berinteraksi dengan negara lain. Perlu diingat bahwa di bawah panji-panji merekalah umat Islam menjadi kekuatan besar yang disegani dunia bahkan melawan bangsa Eropa.

International Role

In a series of articles in this Journal, Professor Robert Wilson drew attention to the incorporation of references to international law in United States statutes, a technique designed to allow recourse to international law by the courts in interpreting and implementing those statutes, and, consequently, to help ensure conformity between international and U.S. law. The purpose of this article is to survey the references, direct and indirect, to international law in the 20th-century statutes of two Commonwealth countries in order to see to what extent similar techniques have been adopted. The choice of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth of Australia as the subjects of this survey is no doubt somewhat arbitrary (although passing reference will be made to the legislation of Canada and New Zealand). But the United Kingdom, a semi-unitary state whose involvement in international relations has been substantial throughout the century, and the Commonwealth of Australia, a federal polity with substantial legislative power over foreign affairs and defense -whose international role has changed markedly since 1901, do provide useful examples of states with constitutional and legislative continuity since 1901, and (as will be seen) considerable legislative involvement in this field.
