Does political inclusion produce ideological moderation? Schwedler
argues that examining political behaviour alone provides
insufficient evidence of moderation because it leaves open the
possibility that political actors might act as if they are moderate
while harbouring radical agendas. Through a comparative study of
the Islamic Action Front party in Jordan and the Islah party in
Yemen, she argues that the IAF in Jordan has become more moderate
through participation in pluralist political processes, while the
Islah party has not. The variation is explained in part by internal
group organization and decision-making processes, but particularly
by the ways in which the IAF has been able to justify its new
pluralist practices on Islamic terms while the Islah party has not.
Based on nearly four years of field research in Jordan and Yemen,
Schwedler contributes both an important theory of ideological
moderation and detail about these powerful Islamist political
parties.
