Table of ContentsReviewsReligious Parties and the Politics of Civil Liberties is a much needed systematic, nuanced, and skillful examination of the relationship between Islamic religious parties and curtailment or expansion of civil liberties.Vineeta Yadav shows how concrete organizational and political needs and resources are deployed by religious leaders and politicians to expand the impact of religion on civil liberties. It is important reading for students and scholars of religion and politics, as well as policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding how and why religious parties and organizations affect civil rights and freedoms. * Carolyn Warner, Vail Pittman Professor of Political Science, University of Nevada, Reno * The question of whether religious parties and organizations are conducive to or inimical of civil liberties has been hotly debated in comparative politics for more than thirty years. In this thoroughly original and empirically rich study, Yadav explores these questions in the context of Muslim-majority societies. The result is a book both fascinating in its narrative and deeply important both for policy analysts and scholars of comparative Muslim politics generally. This book allows us to rethink certain basic premises with regard to Muslim politics, and is one of the most original and important works in comparative Muslim politics in the past ten years. * Robert Hefner, Professor of Anthropology and Global Affairs, Boston University * Are religiously-based political parties undermining the conditions for the advancement of civil liberties and democracy in the Muslim world? The answer, Yadav says, is not a simple yes or no. In a nuanced theoretical examination of religious parties in Turkey, Pakistan, and other nations, Yadav reveals interesting strategic interactions between religious interest groups, Muslim politicians, and secular parties that differentially affect civil liberties. Her meticulous statistical evidence and case studies provide the best explanation to date of how religion shapes politics in the Muslim world. An essential addition to the literature and a delight to read! * Anthony Gill, Professor of Political Science, University of Washington, and Distinguished Fellow, Baylor University Institute for Studies of Religion * Author InformationVineeta Yadav is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Penn State University.
