Islam and Authoritarianism
Steven Fish, Political Science, UC Berkeley
Are predominantly Muslim societies distinctly disadvantaged in democratization?
If so, why? This paper presents a straightforward cross-national examination
of the link between Islam and political regime. The evidence strongly suggests
that Muslim countries are in fact democratic underachievers. The nature of the
causal connection between Islam and political regime is investigated. Many conventional
assumptions about Islam and politics do not withstand scrutiny. But one factor
does help explain the dearth of democracy in the Muslim world: the treatment
of women and girls. The rudiments of a provisional theory linking the treatment
of females and regime type are offered and the implications of the findings for
democracy, both in Muslim societies and elsewhere, are discussed. Sponsored by
the Ford Foundation Crossing borders grant and co-sponsored with the Institute
of East Asian Studies and the Institute of Slavic
East European
and Eurasian Studies, UC Berkeley.

Student
On Sunday, September 22, Germany's Social Democratic party and Chancellor Gerhard
Schroeder faced the conservative CDU/CSU challenger Edmund Stoiber
of Bavaria,
with opinion polls showing the race too close to call. The grim unemployment
figures showed Germany's jobless total at above four million and a new decline
in industrial production. Unemployment in Stoiber's Bavaria jumped nearly four
percent in the month before the election. Conservatives put the sensitive topic
of immigration on the political agenda, and U.S. officials accused Chancellor
Schroeder of stirring up the fear of a war with Iraq and taking a hard line with
the United States as a campaign tactic. Germany's social insurance system--indeed
its entire socio-economic model is calling for an overhaul, but was a hot potato
in the election campaign. Panelists discussed these issues and more, as they
assessed the election outcome and Germany's future.
