When Do Muslims Vote Islamic?

Charles Kurzman and Didem Türkoğlu, “When Do Muslims Vote Islamic?” in Fatma Müge Göçek and Gamze Evcimen, editors, The I.B. Tauris Handbook of Sociology and the Middle East (London: I.B. Tauris, 2022), pp. 163-174. “This study updates results from two previous papers, published in The Journal of Democracy in 2010 and 2015…. Here we present data on Islamic political parties’ performance in parliamentary elections through the end of 2020, along with an expanded set of electoral platforms. We find that Islamic parties have not fared much better in elections since the Arab Spring than before. As in earlier years, a handful of Islamic parties have won pluralities of the vote, especially in “breakthrough” elections after long periods of autocratic rule, while most Islamic parties received 2 percent of seats in parliament or less. The Islamic political sector as a whole — that is, the proportion of seats won by all Islamic parties in each election — fell slightly to a median of 12 percent since the Arab Spring.”

Data available in an Excel spreadsheet.

After the Arab Spring: Do Muslims Vote Islamic Now?

Kurzman_Turkoglu_platforms_rights_themesCharles Kurzman and Didem Türkoğlu, “After the Arab Spring: Do Muslims Vote Islamic Now?” Journal of Democracy, Vol. 26, No. 4, October 2015, pp. 100-109. “Do Muslims Vote Islamic?” asked an article by Charles Kurzman and Ijlal Naqvi in the April 2010 issue of the Journal of Democracy. The answer, at that time, appeared to be rarely. This essay presents updated data on Islamic political parties’ performance in parliamentary elections through the end of 2014, along with an expanded set of electoral platforms. Since 2011, the trend toward liberal themes has stalled, but Islamic parties have not fared much better in elections since the Arab Spring than before. More…

Votes Versus Rights

Charles Kurzman, “Votes Versus Rights: The Debate That’s Shaping the Outcome of the Arab Spring,” Foreign Policy “Democracy Lab,” February 10, 2012.

“Elections in Egypt, and throughout the Arab Spring, pose a classic dilemma of political theory: Do you support democracy, even if it means sacrificing some civil rights? Or do you support rights, even if it means stifling democracy?” More…

Do Muslims Vote Islamic?

Charles Kurzman and Ijlal Naqvi, “Do Muslims Vote Islamic?The Journal of Democracy, Vol. 21, No. 2, April 2010, pp. 50-63.

Project funded by the United States Institute of Peace, 2007-2008; Henry Luce Foundation, 2013-2014.

“If Muslim-majority countries hold free and fair (or at least competitive) elections, should we expect Islamic parties to dominate such contests? … It turns out that Islamic movements have entered the electoral fray quite often — more than 160 times over the past generation, in fact — and most have attracted less than 8 percent of the vote.” More…
