The troubled transition to democracy in Iraq has led many to wonder how the country's Shiâ'ites and Sunnis will balance their religious beliefs with political pressures. In this volume, historian Juan R. I. Cole explores clerical participation within Iraq's emerging democracy, including that of the Daâ'wa Party, the al-Sadr Movement, and the Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution. Ideal for students and scholars of foreign affairs, Cole's thought-provoking analysis will be important reading for anyone concerned about the future of Iraq.
