中东剧变与穆斯林民主政党的兴起

中东穆斯林民主政党脱胎于长期存在的伊斯兰政党。在21世纪特定的历史背景下,伊斯兰政党逐渐超越传统伊斯兰属性,转变为与现代民主政治相容的公民政党。2010年底以来的中东剧变,为穆斯林民主政党赢得民主选举提供历史契机,穆斯林民主政党的兴起与精英与民众的文化断裂、现代化进程中诸种危机的涌现、君主政治、威权政治或世俗政党执政不力密切相关;其在不同国家上台执政或参与联合政府得益于务实开放的政治定位:倡导民主、多元主义与现代化,整合伊斯兰主义与民主政治理念。穆斯林民主政党对民主自由的强调证明了民主与伊斯兰教的相容性,表现了伊斯兰主义者对穆斯林民主模式的探索与思考,体现了中东政治民主化的发展方向。穆斯林民主政党的执政实践面临着重重挑战,但其治国模式将为中东其他国家提供借鉴。
