More about the book

The book explores whether political inclusion leads to ideological moderation, focusing on the Islamic Action Front (IAF) in Jordan and the Islah party in Yemen. Through comparative analysis, it reveals that the IAF has embraced moderation through participation in pluralist politics, while the Islah party has not. Key factors include internal organization and the IAF's ability to frame its pluralist practices within an Islamic context, unlike Islah. Schwedler's extensive field research offers significant insights into these influential Islamist parties and the theory of ideological moderation.
