Abstract

Çaðdaþ dönem öncesi Ortadoðu ekonomisinin Ýslam hukukuna dayanan kilit kurumlarý, demokratik kurumlarýn geliþimini engelledi. Bu konuþma, kritik rol oynayan üç mekanizmayý tanýmlamaktadýr. Kur’an’da belirtilen vergi sistemi yönetim üzerinde kalýcý ve güvenilir kýsýtlamalar geliþtirmeyi baþaramadý. Çeþitli kesimlere sosyal hizmetler saðlamak için kurulan Ýslami vakýflarýn politik gücü yoktu. Kâr getiren özel iþletmeler küçük ölçekli ve kýsa ömürlüydüler; bu özellikler devletle pazarlýk edebilecek istikrarlý koalisyonlar kurmalarýný önledi. Son iki mekanizma, demokratik yönetim için gerekli olan güçler ayrýlýðýný saðlayacak sivil toplumun geliþimini geciktirdi.
