Liberal Democracy and Political Islam: The Search for Common Ground
TLDR
In this paper, a dialogue between Islamic and democratic normative political theories is established, and it is shown that the conception of democracy underlying a prominent Islamic political model is procedural, and that bringing together Islamic political theory and democracy alters the meaning of the latter.Abstract:
We seek to establish a dialogue between Islamic and democratic normative political theories. To that aim, we show that the conception of democracy underlying a prominent Islamic political model is procedural. We distinguish proceduralism from a liberal conception of democracy. We explain how bringing together Islamic political theory and democracy alters the meaning of the latter. In other words, we show that democracy within Islam often means democracy within Islamic limits.read more
