Description
Résumé:Why do some Islamic political parties (IPPs) pursue a ‘moderate’ political agenda and focus on economic development and democratic reform, while others pursue an ‘immoderate’ political agenda demanding the de-secularization of the state? To answer this question, this paper will utilize a comparative method of difference and analyze different behaviour, moderation versus immoderation, in similar political contexts, in the authoritarian constitutional monarchies of Jordan and Morocco, and in the secular democracies of Tunisia and Turkey. Based on this comparative methodology and building on the inclusion-moderation literature and religious economies literature, this paper will argue that proximity to power and organizational diversity correlate with an IPP’s moderation and immoderation and show how non-linear the processes of moderation and immoderation can be.
