From political islam to muslim democracy: the Ennahda party and the future of Tunisia / Ghannouchi, Rached   Journal Article
Ghannouchi, Rached Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Ennahda, one of the most influential political parties in the Arab world and a major force in Tunisia’s [1] emergence as a democracy, recentlyannounced [2] a historic transition. Ennahda [3] has moved beyond its origins as an Islamist party and has fully embraced a new identity as a party of Muslim democrats. The organization, which I co-founded in the 1980s, is no longer both a political party and a social movement. It has ended all of its cultural and religious activities and now focuses only on politics.

Indonesia’s (inter)national role as a Muslim democracy model: effectiveness and conflict between the conception and prescription roles / Grzywacz, Anna   Journal Article
Grzywacz, Anna Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Indonesia has developed an internal model of reconciling the values of democracy and Islam; therefore it could pursue international activities for bringing the West and the Islamic world together. However, Indonesia’s international role as a bridge-builder between democratic values and Islam has limited effectiveness. In this paper the attempt is to investigate why Indonesia’s international activity as a bridge-builder between the West and the Muslim world is ineffective? The analysis shows, and this is the argument, that its limited effectiveness results from a conflict between the country’s conception and prescription roles. The assumptions are that Indonesia’s underlying objective in its foreign policy is to provide a tool for reconciling the West and the Muslim world (role conception); however an enactment of this role is affected by a dissonance between the authors of this role. The paper examines three empirical case studies at different levels of Indonesia’s external engagement: (1) civilizational and interfaith dialogues at the international level; (2) the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and Developing-8 at the inter-regional level; and (3) the Bali Democracy Forum at the regional level.
