Summary:

'Negotiating Democracy and Religious Pluralism' examines the relationship between the functioning of democracy and the prior existence of religious plurality in three societies outside the West: India, Pakistan, and Turkey. The volume brings together political scientists, sociologists, historians, and legal scholars to illuminate various trajectories of political thought, state policy, and the exercise of social power during and following a transition to democracy, and, reflexively, the political categories that shape our understanding of these changes in South Asia and Turkey.
