This book investigates the role of Islam and religious freedom in
the constitutional transitions of six North African and Middle
Eastern countries, namely Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Turkey,
and Palestine. In particular, the book, with an interdisciplinary
approach, investigates the role of Islam as a political,
institutional and societal force. Issues covered include: the role
played by Islam as a constitutional reference - a "static force"
able to strengthen and legitimize the entire constitutional order;
Islam as a political reference used by some political parties in
their struggle to acquire political power; and Islam as a specific
religion that, like other religions in the area, embodies diverse
perspectives on the nature and role of religious freedom in
society. The volume provides insight about the political dimension
of Islam, as used by political forces, as well as the religious
dimension of Islam. This provides a new and wider perspective able
to take into account the increasing social pluralism of the
South-Mediterranean region. By analyzing three different topics -
Islam and constitutionalism, religious political parties, and
religious freedom - the book offers a dynamic picture of the role
played by Islam and religious freedom in the process of
state-building in a globalized age in which human rights and
pluralism are crucial dimensions.
