Do Islamic traditions provoke more hostility to democratic values in comparison to other religious traditions? In Religion, Religiosity, and Democratic Values , Abbas Mehregan undertakes an empirical examination of the effects of individual religiosity, historical religion, institutional democracy, and socioeconomic development on attitudes towards free market economics and confidence in traditional, modern, and post-modern civil society organizations. Using multilevel analysis, Mehregan compares 60 Islamic, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, and folk-religion societies in these regards. Furthermore, in addition to an empirical comparison of Sunni and Shia Islamic countries, a theoretical investigation of the relationship between Islam and democratic economic and civil values provides a comprehensive insight into the topic.International studies in religion and society ;Volume 23.Islam and civil societyIslam and world politicsIslam and social problemsIslamic countriesRelationsElectronic books.Islam and civil society.Islam and world politics.Islam and social problems.201/.72Mehregan Abbas863951MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458753503321Religion, religiosity, and democratic values1928567UNINA
