Political Islam in the Age of Democratization

Beschreibung

The continued prominence of Islam in the struggle for democracy in the Muslim world has confounded Western democracy theorists who largely consider secularism a prerequisite for democratic transitions. Kamran Bokhari and Farid Senzai offer a comprehensive view of the complex nature of contemporary political Islam and its relationship to democracy.

“Bokhari and Senzai present a generally persuasive, informed, and nuanced conceptual framework for understanding different ‘Islamists’ behavior in relation to democracy’ and the different ways democracy  can be interpreted and operationalized within Islamic societies … . Overall, this book constitutes a must read for students of Muslim politics; it is an informative, resourceful, and easily comprehensible text for anyone who desires to understand political Islam today.” (Ravza Altuntaş-Çakır, Insight Turkey, insightturkey.com, December, 2015)
