| Zusammenfassung: | Religious parties are increasingly common in all parts of the world. Their rise in Muslim-majority countries has been particularly prominent as they increasingly participate in elections, win legislative seats and join governments. Since they are often founded on orthodox principles that are inconsistent with liberal democracy, the consequences of their rise and success for the prospects of liberal democratic values and practices has inspired much heated debate and discussion. This book considers a question that has been central in these debates: will the rise and success of religious parties lead to declines in the civil liberties of their citizens?. cover -- Half title -- Religious Parties and the Politics of Civil Liberties -- Copyright -- Dedication -- Contents -- List of Illustrations -- Acknowledgments -- 1.
