A Political Theory of Muslim Democracy Hardback
by Ravza Altunta?-Cak?r
Part of the Edinburgh Studies of the Globalised Muslim World series
Hardback
Description
Ravza Altunta?-Cak?r proposes a framework of Muslim democracy that reconciles public claims made by Muslims with the normative and practical demands of democratic regimes.
This book examines the ideals, institutions and processes that shape the development of a concrete Muslim-based democratic system a form of democracy that recognises the centrality of religion in Muslim societies.
Questioning the customary characterisations of Islam's compatibility with democracy, the book adopts a comparative political theory approach that initiates a dialogue between Muslim and Western political thought.
It systematically studies debates concerning Muslim political thought, multiculturalism, secularism, the public sphere and constitutionalism, which enables an exploration of Muslim democracy through a political theory approach, rather than a theological one.
