In \u003cem\u003eIslam and Democracy after the Arab Spring\u003c\/em\u003e, John L. Esposito, John Voll, and Tamara Sonn examine the state of democracy in Muslim-majority societies today.\u003cbr\u003eApplying a twenty-first century perspective to the question of whether Islam is compatible with democracy, they redirect the conversation toward a new politics of democracy that transcends both secular authoritarianism and Political Islam. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile the opposition movements of the Arab Spring vary from country to country, each has raised questions regarding equality, economic justice, democratic participation, and the relationship between Islam and democracy in their respective countries. Does democracy require a secular political regime?\u003cbr\u003eAre religious movements the most effective opponents of authoritarian secularist regimes? Esposito, Voll, and Sonn examine these questions and shed light on how these opposition movements reflect the new global realities of media communication and sources of influence and power. Positioned for a\u003cbr\u003ebroad readership of scholars and students, policy-makers, and media experts, \u003cem\u003e Islam and Democracy after the Arab Spring \u003c\/em\u003ewill quickly become a go-to for all who watch the Middle East, inside and outside of academia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John L.
