STATE NATIONALISM AND ISLAMIZATION - RAJA M ALI...

This book argues that Islam's role in state nationalism is the best predictor of the
Islamization of government using two most different cases: Turkey  which was an aggressively
secular country until recently  and Pakistan  a country that is synonymous with Islamization.
It establishes a causal link between Islam's role in state nationalism and Islamization of
government during various periods of the history of both countries. The indicators used to
establish the causal link between Islam's role in state nationalism and Islamization are the
presence of Islamic provisions in the constitution  Islam-inspired national symbols  Islamic
images on the national currency  Islamic basis of family law  a Department of Religious Affairs
and governmental support for religious education. The book concludes by identifying three
causal mechanisms-legitimacy  mobilization  and authenticity-that link Islam's role in state
nationalism and the Islamization of government.
