商品描述

This book examines the critical intersection of religion, democracy, and political leadership in three prominent Muslim-majority states--Malaysia, Pakistan, and Turkey. It offers a comparative analysis of the political careers and strategies of Mahathir Mohamad, Nawaz Sharif, and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, exploring how these leaders have strategically instrumentalised religion to shape their political narratives, mobilise public support, and consolidate power. By examining the adaptive use of religion as a tool for governance, the book sheds light on the broader dynamics of religious politics in contemporary democracies.

Using qualitative research methods, the book investigates the political rhetoric, policy decisions, and symbolic actions of these leaders, analysing how they navigate the tensions between Islamic principles and democratic institutions. Drawing on extensive historical and contextual data, it categorises religious instrumentalisation into three fluid strategies: conservatism, nationalism, and populism. This innovative framework offers readers a fresh perspective on how religion functions as a versatile political tool, making it highly relevant to scholars and practitioners in political science, sociology, and religious studies.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書探討了宗教、民主與政治領導之間的關鍵交集,聚焦於三個主要的穆斯林國家——馬來西亞、巴基斯坦和土耳其。它提供了對馬哈蒂爾·莫哈末(Mahathir Mohamad)、納瓦茲·謝里夫(Nawaz Sharif)和雷傑普·塔伊普·艾爾多安(Recep Tayyip Erdoğan)政治生涯和策略的比較分析,探討這些領導人如何策略性地利用宗教來塑造他們的政治敘事、動員公眾支持並鞏固權力。通過檢視宗教作為治理工具的適應性使用,本書揭示了當代民主中宗教政治的更廣泛動態。

本書採用質性研究方法,調查這些領導人的政治修辭、政策決策和象徵性行動,分析他們如何在伊斯蘭原則與民主機構之間的緊張關係中進行調適。基於廣泛的歷史和背景數據,它將宗教的工具化分類為三種流動的策略:保守主義、民族主義和民粹主義。這一創新的框架為讀者提供了關於宗教如何作為多功能政治工具運作的新視角,使其對政治學、社會學和宗教研究的學者與實務工作者具有高度相關性。
