摘要

在本文中,我将解释为什么政治理论和比较政治之间缺乏辩论,导致美国政治学中传统伊斯兰学者和伊斯兰主义者对政治的理解不足。在第一节中,我分析了基于文本的政治理论方法的影响;第二,比较政治的自由主义框架;第三,一个有希望的新发展:伊斯兰法律研究的跨学科领域,它有可能弥合政治学、法律和穆斯林社会研究方法之间的分歧。我认为,政治理论家对开创性伊斯兰文本的依赖,而不是对法律和政治过程中文本的解释,限制了他们代表巴基斯坦等国务实伊斯兰理论演变的能力。此外,尽管Lucas Swaine等政治理论家已经证明了将自由主义假设应用于神权主义是徒劳的,但比较主义者仍然主要依赖自由主义的类别和框架,这产生了对伊斯兰主义者的扭曲看法。政治理论和比较政治之间的分工,以及由此产生的对话的缺乏,即使不是不可能,也很难在美国政治学中公平地代表或分析当代伊斯兰团体。

Challenges with Studying Islamist Groups in American Political Science
In this paper, I will explain why the lack of debate between political theory and comparative politics has led to an inadequate understanding of the politics of traditional Islamic scholars and Islamists in American political science. In the first section, I analyze the impact of the text-based approach of political theory; in the second, of the liberal frameworks of comparative politics; and in the third, a promising new development: the interdisciplinary field of Islamic legal studies, which has the potential to bridge the division between political science, law, and area studies approaches to the study of Muslim societies. I argue that the reliance of political theorists on seminal Islamist texts, rather than on the interpretations of texts during legal and political processes, limits their ability to represent the evolution of pragmatic Islamist theory in countries such as Pakistan. Moreover, whereas political theorists, such as Lucas Swaine, have demonstrated the futility of applying liberal assumptions to theocrats, comparativists continue to predominantly rely on liberal categories and frameworks, which produces a distorted view of Islamists. The division of labor between political theory and comparative politics, and the lack of conversation that results from it, makes it difficult—if not impossible—to fairly represent or analyze contemporary Islamist groups in American political science.
