Under what conditions do minorities in the Middle East participate in authoritarian coalitions? Research on authoritarian resilience in the Middle East has been largely silent on linguistic and religious minorities' preferences over regime types. Here, we examine whether minorities differ in their support for authoritarianism from the majority groups in four Middle Eastern states. We argue that minorities whose status is threatened by a transition to majoritarian decision-making institutions are less likely to be supportive of democratization. We examine how different cleavages affect the preferences of minorities over regime type and identify three historical legacies in the Middle East that have shaped these cleavages: the Ottoman-Islamic legacy of minority accommodation, the ethnic class structure that emerged as a result of the region's integration to world markets in the nineteenth century, and a post-independence pattern of authoritarian secularism. Based on survey research and a comparison of minorities in Turkey, Egypt, Morocco, and Jordan, we find that linguistic minorities tend to be less supportive of authoritarianism while religious minorities tend to be more supportive of authoritarianism.

Contrary to the expectations of the secularization theorists, religious political movements rose to prominence in numerous countries across the globe in the past three decades. By examining the conditions that underlie the electoral fortunes of religious actors in democratic regimes, this book contributes to our understanding of this worldwide religious resurgence. Employing a social movement theory framework, Mobilizing Religion in Middle East Politics explores the macro and micro dynamics of successful political mobilization by Sephardic Torah Guardians (Shas) in Israel and the National Outl.

"Christians and the Middle East Conflict deals with the relationship of Christians and Christian theology to the various conflicts in the Middle East, a topic that is often sensationalized but still insufficiently understood. Political developments over the last two decades, however, have prompted observers to rediscover and examine the central role religious motivations play in shaping public discourses. This book proceeds on the assumption that neither a focus on the eschatological nor a narrow understanding of the plight of Christians in the Middle East is sufficient. Instead, it is necessary to understand Christians in context and to explore the ways that Christian theology applies through the actions of Christians who have lived and continue to live through conflict in the region either as native inhabitants or interested foreign observers. This volume addresses issues of concern to Christians from a theological perspective, from the perspective of Christian responses to conflict throughout history, and in reflection on the contemporary realities of Christians in the Middle East. The essays in this volume combine contextual political and theological reflections written by both scholars and Christian activists and will be of interest to students and scholars of Politics, Religion and Middle East Studies."--

Eine neue Ausgabe des Informationsdienstes "Recherche Spezial" bietet einen umfassenden Überblick über aktuelle sozialwissenschaftliche Literatur- und Forschungsnachweise zum Thema Religion in Osteuropa. Er wurde anlässlich der Tagung "Religion und Politik in osteuropäischen Staaten" der Fachgruppe Religion der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Osteuropakunde e.V. (DGO) am 10./11. Oktober 2008 in Berlin erstellt. Viele Jahrzehnte waren die Länder des sowjetischen Einflussbereichs geprägt von einem staatlich verschriebenen Atheismus und den damit einhergehenden Repressionen gegen die Institution Kirche und jegliche religiöse Ausdrucksformen. Seit nun fast zwanzig Jahren herrscht wieder die Freiheit der Religionsausübung. Heute lässt sich in vielen Ländern die Renaissance religiöser Phänomene feststellen und es sind entsprechende Wechselwirkungen zwischen Religion und Politik bzw. Gesellschaft zu beobachten. Der Informationsdienst zeigt einen Ausschnitt der sozialwissenschaftlichen Forschung, die sich mit verschiedensten Aspekten von Religion bzw. Kirche in den Nachfolgestaaten der ehemaligen UdSSR ebenso wie in den postsozialistischen Staaten des östlichen Europa beschäftigt. In den einzelnen Kapiteln wird z.B. die Rolle von Religion für das Wertesystem der einzelnen Gesellschaften betrachtet. Weiterhin werden das Verhältnis von Religion und Politik sowie rechtliche Fragen beleuchtet und das Thema neuer verschiedener religiöser Ausdrucksformen inklusive Säkularisierungstendenzen wird berücksichtigt. Außerdem geht die Zusammenstellung auf den Zusammenhang von Religion und kollektivem Gedächtnis und ihre Rolle für die Konstruktion nationaler bzw. ethnischer Identitäten ein. Für den Informationsdienst berücksichtigt wurden Literatur- und Forschungsnachweise aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum seit 2005.
