The Islamization of politics in Indonesia after 1998 presents an
underexplored puzzle: why has there been a rise in the number of
shari'a laws despite the electoral decline of Islamist parties?
Michael Buehler presents an analysis of the conditions under which
Islamist activists situated outside formal party politics may
capture and exert influence in Muslim-majority countries facing
democratization. His analysis shows that introducing competitive
elections creates new pressures for entrenched elites to mobilize
and structure the electorate, thereby opening up new opportunities
for Islamist activists to influence politics. Buehler's analysis of
changing state-religion relations in formerly authoritarian Islamic
countries illuminates broader theoretical debates on Islamization
in the context of democratization. This timely text is essential
reading for students, scholars, and government analysts.
