摘要本研究是对伊斯兰教中的协商和代议制民主概念的分析比较。它强调了根据古兰经注释和伊斯兰教协商规则的历史先例对shirrandy的各种认识理解。特别是，它认为，与人们更熟悉的自上而下的协商制度相比，民主化进程是民主化的一个媒介。这是审查与现代主义，伊斯兰教和亲民主背景的有影响力的穆斯林学者的作品一起阐明他们接受和/或拒绝民主的哪些方面。这篇文章并没有详尽地分析每个学者对民主的解释。而是从不同的历史时代选择具有独特理论立场的学者。总的来说，研究发现，由于后殖民时代对伊斯兰教的论述和穆斯林占多数的国家的专制政治制度，伊斯兰教在很大程度上仍然没有得到充分利用。最后，本文探讨了如何更好地促进社会主义作为一个社会代理人，以更新公民社会和打击独裁统治。
ABSTRACT This study is an analytical comparison between Islamic articulations of shūrā (consultation) and notions of representative democracy. It emphasizes various epistemic understandings of shūrā in light of qur’anic exegesis and historical precedents of consultative rule in Islam. In particular, it identifies shūrā as an agent for democratization in contrast to its more familiar manifestation as a top-down consultative system. This is examined together with the works of influential Muslim scholars from modernist, Islamist and pro-democratic backgrounds to elucidate what aspects of democracy they accept and/or reject. The article does not exhaustively analyze each scholar’s interpretation of democracy. Rather, it selects scholars from different historical epochs with distinctive theoretical positions on shūrā. Overall, the study finds shūrā remains largely under-utilized as a result of post-colonial discourses on Islam and authoritarian political systems in Muslim-majority countries. The article finally examines how shūrā can be better facilitated as a social agent to renew civil society and combat authoritarian rule.
