The Rise of "Muslim Democracy"

By: NASR, Seyyed Vali Reza.
Material type: materialTypeLabelArticlePublisher: Washington, DC : The Johns Hopkins University Press , April 2005Subject(s): Democracia | Religious aspects | Islam | Islamic countries | Politics and governmentJournal of Democracy 16, 2, p. 13-27Abstract: In recent years "Muslim democracy" has emerged as a new political reality in a number of Muslim countries with open politics to define the role of Islam in democracy. Muslim democracy evokes the legacy of Christian Democratic parties of Europe in that it is an electoral platform that seeks to dominate the middle by integrating Muslim values into broader socioeconomic demands. Muslim democracy is not a platform for religious reform nor a theoretical construct, but rather the product of politics on the ground and the give-and-take of electoral politics. Muslim democracy has taken shape in the political process by Islamist parties such as Turkey's AKP, and non-religious parties such as Pakistan's PML. It provides a model for pragmatic change with broader influence across the Muslim world.
