Description:	This book explores the question of the person as treated by the legal systems of various Arab countries.

It is based on the presupposition, questionable because stated but unproven, of the existence of a phenomenon of individuation which translates, in terms of law, into a tendency to focus on the legal persona. Elsewhere, one may observe that the national infrastructures of these nations is marked by a tendency towards political and legal centralisation.
