Abstract

While economists have established the link between values and economy, it has been ignored in popular measures of socio-economic development. The paper proposes a complementary values-based index to existing value-neutral indices on socio-economic development and formulates a 3-stage policy to reduce deprivation from maqasid al-Shariah (the objectives of Islamic law) dimensions in OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation) countries by setting up absolute and relative policy targets. It explores the policy focus for maqasid al-Shariah (MS) dimensions by ranking OIC countries using recent World Values Survey (WVS wave 6). The paper contributes by extending the frontiers of knowledge in multiple ways. It is the first to propose the use of an MS index from a policy perspective. It outlines selection criteria for choosing indicators within Shariah perspective. It constructs a Maqasid al-Shariah Deprivation Perception Index (MSDPI), using the Alkire-Foster dual-cut-off counting methodology, which is easily replicable using data from a single publicly available authentic source. The results show not only the ranking of countries but also points out the dimensions in which improvements are required for comprehensive development by setting absolute and relative targets for policy intervention. في الوقت الذي أقر الاقتصاديون بوجود صلة بين القيم والاقتصاد، فقد تم تجاهل هذا الأمر في المقاييس السائدة للتنمية الاقتصادية والاجتماعية. تقترح هذه الورقة مؤشرًا مكملاً يستند إلى القيم كبديل لمؤشرات التنمية الاقتصادية والاجتماعية الموجودة (الخالية من القيم)، فضلاً عن صياغة سياسة اقتصادية ذات ثلاث مراحل لدول منظمة المؤتمر الإسلامي (OIC) للحد من القصور المترتب عن استبعاد مقاصد الشريعة الإسلامية من خلال أهداف مطلقة ونسبية للسياسات الاقتصادية. وفي هذا السياق، تستكشف الورقة محل اهتمام السياسات الاقتصادية بمقاصد الشريعة الإسلامية، حيث جرى ترتيب دول منظمة التعاون الإسلامي (OIC) وفق مسح القيم العالمية (World Values Survey) الحالي (WVS wave 6). وبذلك تساهم هذه الورقة في توسيع حدود المعرفة بطرق متعددة: فهي تقترح ابتداءً استخدام مؤشر لمقاصد الشريعة الإسلامية من منظور السياسات الاقتصادية وتحدد معايير اختيار هذا المؤشر، وانتهاءً ببناء مؤشر لقياس أثر استبعاد مقاصد الشريعة الإسلامية اعتمادًا على منهجية dual-cut off counting لـ Alkire-Foster. ومن ميزات هذا المؤشر أنه يمكن تكراره وتطبيقه على الدول المختلفة بسهولة باستخدام بيانات من مصدر واحد موثق متاح للجميع. ولم تظهر النتائج التي تم التوصل إليها ترتيب البلاد فحسب، وإنما أشارت كذلك إلى المجالات التي ينبغي إدخال تحسينات عليها بوضع أهداف مطلقة ونسبية عبر تدخلات السياسات الاقتصادية وصولاً لتحقيق التنمية الشاملة.
