Structures of government in Almohad Iberia
This thesis seeks to examine the political and administrative organisations of al-Andalus during the period of the Almohads. It employs close analysis of the sources in order to explore how the Almohad government system worked and to identify the extent of the development and the efficiency of its structures during the period. Each chapter focuses on a specific part of this system. Chapter I examines the founding of the political organs established by the founder of the Almohad movement, Ibn TĆ"mart, and the reforms made by his successor, the founder of the empire, ÊżAbd al-MuÊŸmin. Chapter II discusses the administrative political system of al-Andalus, especially the administrative divisions of the provinces, and the political structure of the government, represented by the governors and the kuáč­áč­Äb. Chapter III examines the financial institutions and its structures, such as the ÊżÄmil, the mushrif, and the áčŁÄáž"ib al-aÊżmÄl, in addition to the Almohad sikka and its development. Chapter IV, the final chapter, studies the judicial system and highlights its religious functions.
