Michael Hoffman: Faith in Numbers: Religion, Sectarianism, and Democracy, Gebunden

Klappentext

Why does religion sometimes increase support for democracy and sometimes do just the opposite? This book presents a theory of religion, sectarianism, and democracy. By examining religious and political preferences among both Muslims and non-Muslims in several religiously diverse settings, Faith in Numbers demonstrates that religious identities and sectarian interests play a major part in determining regime preferences and illustrates how Islam in particular
can be mobilized for both pro- and anti-democratic purposes.
