| During the first two decades of 21st century the Muslim world has witnessed a rise of authoritative regimes on one hand and a strive for democracy on the other by ousting despotic leaders. Debate on the compatibility of Islam with democracy has gained momentum between academic circles in the recent years often in the context of a “clash” between Western and Islamic civilization. The main objective of this thesis is to contribute to this debate by trying to identify main challenges and prospects of democratization in the Muslim world and answering the primary research questions of this thesis: “Are the key principles of Islam compatible with core values of democracy?” or “Is Islam inherently authoritarian?”.
For this purpose, I will explore various theories such as modernism and reformism, their main arguments and key concepts such as Ijtihad (Independent interpretation), Ijma (Consensus) over Taqleed (Bling following). In this paper, I will look at the i). historical challenges from the Caliphate to current crisis such as ISIS, ii). the challenges rooted in doctrine and ideological political thought, prospects found in doctrine and ideological political thought and the promises of current democratic tendencies in the Muslim world a case study of Pakistan. Working hypotheses: 1. Islam and Democracy share many fundamental principles and values, thus making them inherently compatible. 2. Globally majority of Muslims desire democratic system of government. Methodology: My study will focus on current debates on Islam and democracy alongside with the earlier research published by great modernist and reformist authors. I will apply these theories on case study of Pakistan by conducting qualitative analysis of the political and institutional system of the country. Table of contents: 1. Introduction 2. Literature review 3. Challenges rooted in the History: The early political system of Muslim world 3.1 The state of Medina 3.2 Caliphate 3.3 Demise of Caliphate 3.4 Colonial Era 3.5 Rise of Authoritative regimes 3.6 Current crisis 4. Challenges rooted in Doctrine & Ideological political thought 5. Prospects found in Doctrine & Ideological political thought 5.1 Democracy 5.2 Theories of Democracy 5.3 Islamic or Spiritual Democracy 5.4 Modernist and reformist theories 5.5 Principle of Ijtihad and Ijma 5.6 Principle of Wasatiyyah 6. Promises of the Current Democratic Tendencies in the Muslim world: The case of Pakistan 7. Conclusion 8. Bibliography |
