Regime Type, Religion-State Arrangements, and Religious Markets in the Muslim World
This paper analyzes the effects of religious regulation and favoritism on religious markets in the Muslim world. Specifically, the paper examines to what extent the institutional promotion of Islam has generated more robust national religious markets and whether levels of political openness have conditioned such robustness. The paper builds a “comparative political economy” approach to analyze Muslim-majority religious markets by drawing on a mor…
Public Religion, Democracy, and Islam: Examining the Moderation Thesis in Algeria
Much of the scholarly debate over Islam and democracy has centered on what has been referred to as the “inclusion-moderation hypothesis” (Schwedler 2006) and whether democratic institutions are capable of incorporating hostile religious actors. This paper proposes to build on this debate by broadening both our concept of inclusion and our expectations about its political effects. The paper presents a theoretical model for understanding the intera…
Religion, State, and Democracy: Analyzing Two Dimensions of Church-State Arrangements
One of the essential characteristics of a democratic regime is the separation of Church and state. The elected governors of a democratic regime's institutions require sufficient autonomy in order to make policy that is within the bounds of the constitution and which cannot be contested or overruled by non-elected religious leaders or institutions. However, this requirement is often confused by scholars and politicians to mean that a democracy mus…
