  • Royalty, Women, and Ideology in the Sultanate of Brunei Darussalem
    2020 VII Marching to the Beat of a Different Drum: Royalty, Women, and Ideology in the Sultanate of Brunei Darussalem Ann Black Article: Marching to the Beat of a Different Drum: Royalty, Women, and Ideology in the Sultanate of Brunei Darussalam Marching to the Beat of a Different Drum: Royalty, Women, and Ideology in the Sultanate of Brunei Darussalam Ann Black UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND Abstract: Unlike the other monarchies considered in this issue, where the focus was on the relationship between the monarch and gender justice within a framework of democratic constitutionalism, Brunei is a case study of monarchy and gender justice in an absolute monarchy. Although this monarchical model is out of step with reforms elsewhere it accords with familiar, albeit rejected, antecedents in western thought. Plato’s Republic idealised rule by a philosophical, benevolent, and wise dictator and the medieval writings of Christian theologians like St Augustine and St Thomas Aquinas further developed the concept of a king ruling by divine right but with a duty to rule according to divine natural law as interpreted through Christian theology. In Muslim polities, a parallel concept is rule by Allah’s vice regent: a Sultan mandated by, and answerable only to, Allah [God]. Today in the Sultanate of Brunei this ancient, and arguably anachronistic, form of governance successfully operates in an ethnic, religious, and culturally plural society. This article postulates that unlike the monarchies of Europe and Japan where “divine rule” was discarded, Brunei’s Constitution endorses rule by divine will. With all power—executive, legislative, judicial and religious—consolidated in the hands of one man, the consequence is a stable and affluent society but at the expense of liberties and rights for its people.

    Matchday 20 Serie A TIM 2020-21 29 - 31 January 2021 29/01/2021 20:45 - OLIMPICO GRANDE TORINO TORINO Vs FIORENTINA Fiorentina have won their last two Serie A TIM meetings against Torino, keeping two clean sheets: they last won three successive such matches in May 2009, whilst only once have they won three in a row without conceding (four between 1961 and 1963). Since their return in the Serie A TIM in 2012/13, Torino have only lost one of their eight Serie A TIM home matches against Fiorentina (W3 D4). Torino will be the second side in the history of the Serie A TIM (since 1929/30) to play successive games on Friday, after Cagliari in March 2019 (two wins for the Rossoblu against Fiorentina and Chievo). Torino have lost only one of their last seven league games (W1 D5), after having lost their previous three. Since MD13, only Atalanta (zero) have lost fewer matches than the Granata (one, alongside Inter and Lazio). After having won 3-0 at Juventus in December, Fiorentina could win both Serie A TIM away matches in a season in Torino for the third time in their history, after 1955/56 and 2007/08. Torino have conceded the most goals (12) in the last 15 minutes of play in Serie A TIM this season. No side has scored fewer headed goals than Fiorentina (two) in the current Serie A TIM campaign. Davide Nicola could become the first manager to remain unbeaten in each of his first two Serie A TIM matches with Torino since Walter Mazzarri: only four coaches have achieved this feat for Torino in the three points for a win era (Mazzarri, Ventura, Novellino and Scoglio).
