Editorial Reviews

In the context of the massive political upheavals in the Middle East triggered by the 2011 Arab Spring, this book offers a particularly timely contribution to the issue of Islamic politics. While there has been an abundance of specific case studies on the subject … . this volume is a remarkable contribution to the knowledge of the recent transformations in Islamic politics in the Middle East and Asia and proves essential for anyone studying the subject.” (Gwenaël Njoto-Feillard, Journal of Contemporary Asia, Vol. 46 (1), 2016)
