This book examines the process of democratic reform in Islamic countries, the problems it throws up and the cultural ideas and practices that prevail. Concentrating in particular on Algeria, and based on extensive on-the-ground research, Volpi offers a unique insight into the political history of the Algerian conflict and raises serious questions about the relationship between Islam and democracy on an international level. Addressing the problem of the radicalisation of political Islam in the region, he suggests possible solutions to the security and foreign policy dilemmas linked to international terrorism.A bitter battle has been fought between the civil state and the Islamic fundamentalists in Algeria since the 1980's. It's a paradigmatic 'clash of civilisations' for some, whilst for others it's a distorted and local crisis in which 'democratisation' was introduced in a deeply authoritarian context. Looking in particular at the role of oil resources, which give Algeria great international geo-strategic and economic importance, Volpi explores Algeria's political transition -- a story which continues to have immense potential significance for other non-democratic Muslim countries. 606 $aDemonstrations$zAlgeria 606 $aIslam and politics$zAlgeria 606 $aIslamic fundamentalism$zAlgeria 607 $aAlgeria$xPolitics and government 607 $aAlgeria$xSocial conditions 615 0$aDemonstrations 615 0$aIslam and politics 615 0$aIslamic fundamentalism 676 $a965.05/3 700 $aVolpi$b Fre?de?ric$0704535 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816208703321 996 $aIslam and democracy$94003300 997 $aUNINA
