Some of the most pressing questions in the Middle East and North
Africa today revolve around the proper place of Islamic institutions
and authorities in governance and political affairs. Drawing on data
from 42 surveys carried out in fifteen countries between 1988 and
2011, representing the opinions of more than 60,000 men and women,
this study investigates the reasons that some individuals support a
central role for Islam in government while others favor a separation
of religion and politics. Utilizing his newly constructed Carnegie
Middle East Governance and Islam Dataset, which has been placed in the
public domain for use by other researchers, Mark Tessler formulates
and tests hypotheses about the views held by ordinary citizens,
offering insights into the individual and country-level factors that
shape attitudes toward political Islam.
