It delves into the analysis of the Islamic Revival Party of Tajikistan (IRPT), the sole Islamic political party permitted to participate in elections in Central Asia. Through a detailed examination of the party's ideological transformation following its integration into the political landscape, the book identifies the moderation of the IRPT as either tactical or ideological.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe author conducts a thorough examination of the primary factors that drove the IRPT towards moderation, with a particular focus on the inclusion-moderation hypothesis. This hypothesis posits that inclusion can lead to moderation, and the author supports this claim through extensive analytical data. The book provides compelling reasons for the moderation of Tajik Islamists and challenges the ideological moderation of the party by examining their attitudes towards the conventions of the modern democratic political system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book offers valuable insights into moderate Islamism and its complex challenges for the contemporary world. It appeals to scholars and researchers in the fields of Political Science, electoral politics, Islamic studies, and Area Studies, with a particular emphasis on Central Asia. By examining the moderation of the IRPT and its engagement with democratic norms, the book contributes to the ongoing debate on the relationship between Islam and democracy in the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 460g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032495385\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AjamKalonov","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44327463747834,"sku":"9781032495385","price":147.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1688742761809_book.jpg?v=1688887667","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/political-islam-and-democracy-in-central-asia-the-islamic-revival-party-of-tajikistan-9781032495385","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
