Beyond piety and politics : religion, social relations, and public preferences in the Middle East and North Africa
\"How do ordinary men and women in Muslim-majority societies create religion-informed views of political topics such as democracy and economics? Beyond Piety and Politics provides a groundbreaking approach to understanding the depth and variety of political attitudes held by people who consider themselves to be pious Muslims. Using survey data on religious preferences and behavior, the authors argue for the relevance and importance of four outlook categories-Religious Individualist, Social Communitarian, Post-Islamist, and Religious Communitarian-and use these to explore complex and nuanced attitudes of devout Muslims toward issues like democracy and economic distribution. They also reveal how intra-faith variation in political attitudes is not simply doctrinal differences, but also a product of the social aspects of religious association operating within political contexts. By highlighting the dynamic societal and political implications of religious devotion, Beyond Piety and Politics offers a fascinating new theoretical perspective on Islam and politics\"-- Provided by publisher.

Beyond Piety and Politics
How do ordinary men and women in Muslim-majority
societies create religion-informed views of political topics such
as democracy and economics?
Beyond Piety and Politics provides a groundbreaking
approach to understanding the depth and variety of political
attitudes held by people who consider themselves to be pious
Muslims. Using survey data on religious preferences and behavior,
the authors argue for the relevance and importance of four outlook
categories-religious individualist, social communitarian, religious
communitarian, and post-Islamist-and use these to explore complex
and nuanced attitudes of devout Muslims toward issues like
democracy and economic distribution. They also reveal how
intrafaith variation in political attitudes is not due simply to
doctrinal differences but is also a product of the social aspects
of religious association operating within political contexts.
By highlighting the dynamic societal and political implications
of religious devotion, Beyond Piety and Politics offers a
fascinating new theoretical perspective on Islam and politics.

National Elections in Turkey
What determines voting behavior in Turkey? At a time when the
center-right, religious-conservative leadership of the Justice and
Development Party has dominated government and the political scene
in Turkey-so much so that the democratic credentials of the regime
have come into question-many have sought to understand what
undergirds this party's success at the polls. While many scholars
have argued that elections in Turkey over time can be effectively
and simply explained by static social or cultural cleavages,
Wuthrich challenges these assertions with a framework that
carefully attends to patterns of strategic vote-getting behavior in
elections by political parties and their leaders. Using the
campaign speeches of the political elite, election data at national
and provincial levels, and careful observations of voter
mobilization strategies across time, Wuthrich traces four distinct
patterns that explain important shifts in electoral behavior. He
covers the first free and fair multiparty election in 1950 and
follows campaign strategies through 2011, highlighting and
explaining the potential development of a new and more problematic
paradigm emerging in the post-2007 environment.
