Proposes a framework of Muslim democracy that reconciles public claims made by Muslims with the normative and practical demands of democratic regimes.

Ravza Altuntaş-Çakır examines the ideals, institutions and processes that shape the development of a concrete Muslim-based democratic system – a form of democracy that recognises the centrality of religion in Muslim societies. Questioning the customary characterisations of Islam’s compatibility with democracy, the book adopts a comparative political theory approach that initiates a dialogue between Muslim and Western political thought. It systematically studies debates concerning Muslim political thought, multiculturalism, secularism, the public sphere and constitutionalism, which enables an exploration of Muslim democracy through a political theory approach, rather than a theological one.

Ravza Altuntaş-Çakır is an Assistant Professor at the Political Science and International Relations Department at Istanbul Sabahattin Zaim University. In 2018, she obtained her PhD in Political Theory at Durham University’s School of Government and International Affairs. Her research interests are in the areas of Islamic and multiculturalist political thought, Middle Eastern politics, and comparative political theory.
