Description
THESE ARE CHALLENGING TIMES for many scholars in the general area of Middle East affairs. Those who labor on the complex issue of relationships between the Islamic world and the West perhaps face even greater obstacles. The challenge is especially acute where issues pertaining to democratization, and the fostering of liberty in the Islamic and Arab world, are concerned. (1) Here, one is perpetually confronted with the riddle of just how full-or how empty-the glass of democratization may really be. The challenge confronting the United States today is to encourage Muslims, in their own ways and using the ample resources available within their own tradition, to create for themselves a recognizably democratic future. That, however, will surely be the work of decades. Concerning the progress of democratization in the Islamic world, one would do well to have a glacial sense of time.
