商品簡介
Political scientists working mostly in the US explore the historical and contemporary role of religious tradition and education of political elites and governing agencies in several major states as well as generally in the region. They also examine the relationship between democracy and authority to show the complexity underlying the emergence of new power configurations as the region responds to forces of change globally. The topics include global governance, Islamism, and authority in the Middle East; the interrelated dynamics of culture, religion, and nation in the United Arab Emirates; the Muslim Brotherhood and the Islamic Action Front in Jordan; religious party supporters and ideological changes; and the political economy of biosafety policies in Turkey.
