Using an elite consensus/conflict analytical frame, this book
examines why some majority Muslim countries perform so much better
at democracy and/or development than others, questioning received
wisdoms that Islam, authoritarianism and underdevelopment go
together. identifying four distinct democracy and development
outcomes in the Muslim world, four case studies are interrogated to
show that there is more variability in democracy and development
outcomes in Muslim majority countries than Macro-historical studies
and aggregate data have shown. By demonstrating that democracy and
development outcomes in Muslim countries are the consequence of
elite conflict and elite consensus, rather than the precepts or
institutions of Islam, the book places the competition for power
among contending elites, rather than Islam, at the center of the
story of democracy and development in the Muslim world. This book
will be of key interest to scholars and students of political
development/development studies, democratization and
autocratization studies, democracy promotion and more broadly to
comparative politics.
