Indonesia's Islamic organizations sustain the country's thriving
civil society, democracy, and reputation for tolerance amid
diversity. Yet scholars poorly understand how these organizations
envision the accommodation of religious difference. What does
tolerance mean to the world's largest Islamic organizations? What
are the implications for democracy in Indonesia and the broader
Muslim world? Jeremy Menchik argues that answering these questions
requires decoupling tolerance from liberalism and investigating the
historical and political conditions that engender democratic
values. Drawing on archival documents, ethnographic observation,
comparative political theory, and an original survey, Islam and
Democracy in Indonesia demonstrates that Indonesia's Muslim leaders
favor a democracy in which individual rights and
group-differentiated rights converge within a system of legal
pluralism, a vision at odds with American-style secular government
but common in Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe.
