Ethnic Minorities in Democratizing Muslim Countries

More about the book

The book delves into how democratizing Muslim nations address the demands for inclusiveness and autonomy from ethnic minorities. Through case studies of the Kurds in Turkey and the Acehnese in Indonesia, it analyzes factors such as elite interests, international influences, state institutions, and historical context. By focusing on states with ethnic but limited religious diversity, the research offers insights into minority inclusion, drawing parallels to challenges faced in non-Muslim majority countries and established democracies.
