Islamic doctrine and women's economic rights: Implications of an ambiguous relationship for state policy in the Muslim world
Islam provides counteracting rules on women's economic rights. In order to understand the effect of the opposing rules in Islamic doctrine on women's economic rights at the state level, I test the relationship, along with a set of competing hypotheses. Using data from 1990 to 2014 on the population of Muslim-majority states, I employ a multilevel mixed-effects linear regression model. I find that at the state level, Islam is not a major influence…
State restrictions on the Ahmadiyya sect in Indonesia and Pakistan: Islam or political survival
Indonesia and Pakistan have both adopted state policy that restricts the religious freedom of a minority heterodox sect, the Ahmadiyya, which is viewed by mainstream Muslims as a non-Muslim minority. This outcome is somewhat puzzling as there is a great discrepancy between the institutionalisation and formal privileging of the dominant religion – Islam – in the two Muslim majority states. I find that the similar outcome is attributable not to the…
Determinants of Democracy in the Muslim World
This article, which examines the factors and processes that account for the negative correlation between Muslim majority states and democratization, focuses on the institutionalization of Islam in the state. I assess the effect of this factor along with other determinants on regime type from 1990 to 2002 in the population of fifty-one Muslim-majority states, using a multilevel mixed effects linear regression model and path analysis. The analysis …
Gender Equality in Muslim-Majority States and Shari’a Family Law: Is There a Link
This paper employs a newly developed coding of the degree to which Muslim-majority states incorporate a strict version of Shari'a family law into their legal code. This measures the feature of Islamic tradition, which is hypothesised to impede women's sociopolitical equality. I find that the incorporation of a strict version of Shari'a family law is an impediment to sociopolitical gender equality; however, the inclusion of other laws and policies…
