As a wave of popular unrest toppled autocratic rulers across the
Middle East and North Africa, many in the West watched with growing
concern as Islamists came to power. The continued prominence of
Islam in the struggle for democracy in the Muslim world has
confounded Western democracy theorists, who largely consider
secularism a prerequisite for democratic transition. In Political
Islam in the Age of Democratization, Kamran Bokhari and Farid
Senzai offer a comprehensive view of the complex nature of
contemporary political Islam and its relationship to democracy.
With a useful theoretical framework, classification of Islamists,
and rich historical context, this book is a compelling and
insightful analysis of Islamism and the role that religion is
likely to play in any future Muslim democracy.
