"A very cutting-edge and path-breaking work in the field. There are many political science texts on the phenomenon of ""Muslim democracy"" but this may be the first book that treats it as political theory or ideology. This will be a very important and influential book. -- ""Andrew F. March, Professor of Political Science, University of Massachusetts"" In deconstructing the 'Turkish model', Ravza Altuntaş-�akır adroitly unravels a contemporary paradox: the reconciliation of faith and pluralist participation. Her masterful exploration of Islamic writings and political theory substantiates that Muslim democracy can, indeed must, have normative roots. It is a bold and inspiring call to rethink democracy as merely instrumental and Muslim societies as narrowly doctrinal. --James Piscatori, co-author of Islam Beyond Borders: The Umma in World Politics"
