Recenzje

Religious Parties and the Politics of Civil Liberties is a much needed systematic, nuanced, and skillful examination of the relationship between Islamic religious parties and curtailment or expansion of civil liberties.Vineeta Yadav shows how concrete organizational and political needs and resources are deployed by religious leaders and politicians to expand the impact of religion on civil liberties. It is important reading for students and scholars of religion and politics, as well as policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding how and why religious parties and organizations affect civil rights and freedoms.
