A. Kadir Yildirim and other scholars have used the term "Muslim Democrat" to describe moderate Islamist political parties, suggesting a parallel with Christian Democratic parties in Europe. These parties (MDPs) are marked by their adherence to a secular political regime, normative commitment to the rules of a democratic political system, and the democratic political representation of a religious identity. In this book, Yildirim draws on extensive field research in Turkey, Egypt, and Morocco to examine this phenomenon and assess the interaction of economic and political factors in the development of MDPs. Distinguishing between "competitive [economic] liberalization" and "crony liberalization," he argues that MDPs are more likely to emerge and succeed in the context of the former. He summarizes that the broader implication is that the economic liberalization models adopted by governments in the region in the wake of the Arab Spring have significant implications for the future direction of party systems and democratic reform.

This work challenges assumptions made in literature on representative democracy and argues that cabinet ministers can have very important policy role as policy agenda setters. The book answers questions about the role of the individual in the policy-making process, and shows that the process of ministerial selection is critical to policy-making.

In den USA stehen sich heute zwei politische Lager - Demokraten und Republikaner, Liberale und Konservative - in existenzieller Feindschaft gegenüber. Doch was erklärt den tiefen ideologischen Graben, der das Land durchzieht? In seinem Buch zeigt Torben Lütjen, wie die USA in ein Land politischer Echokammern zerfielen: virtuelle und soziale Räume, die vor allem von Gleichgesinnten bevölkert werden und sich durch das Fehlen von Widerspruch ideologisch radikalisiert haben. Der Blick geht dabei vor allem nach Wisconsin, in den Mittleren Westen der USA: Hier verkörpert sich in zwei extremen Parteihochburgen von Demokraten und Republikanern paradigmatisch der Konflikt, der die modernen USA prägt. »Das Buch zeichnet sich durch sprachliche Klarheit und Präzision aus. Lütjen analysiert auf hohem wissenschaftlichen Niveau, ohne sich in Fachjargon zu verfangen. Ein gelungenes Buch, welches die politische Entwicklung in den USA nachvollziehbar erklärt und informativ beleuchtet. Ein Buch für ein breites Publikum, welches sich für die Entwicklung der us-amerikanischen Politik interessiert.« Jan Rebuschat, www.freitag.de, 26.10.2016 Besprochen in: Portal für Politikwissenschaft, 08.02.2017, Natalie Wohlleben
