Political mobilization tends to take different forms in
contemporary Catholic- and Sunni-majority countries. Luis Felipe
Mantilla attributes this dynamic to changes taking place in
religious communities and the political institutions that govern
religious political engagement. In How Political Parties Mobilize
Religion, Mantillaevenhandedly traces the emergence and success of
religious parties in Mexico and Turkey, two countries shaped by
assertive secular regimes. In doing so, he demonstrates that
religious parties are highly responsive to political institutions,
such as electoral laws, as well as to the structure of broader
religious communities. Whereas in both countries, the electoral
success of religious mobilizers was initially a boon for democracy,
in Mexico it was marred by political mismanagement and became
entangled with persistent corruption and escalating violence. In
Turkey, the democratic credentials of religious mobilizers were
profoundly eroded as the government became increasingly autocratic,
concentrating power in very few hands and rolling back basic
liberal rights. Mantilla investigates the role religious
mobilization plays in the evolution of electoral politics and
democratic institutions, and to what extent their trajectories
reflect broader trends in political Catholicism and Islam.
