  • Abstract

    Based on a conceptual and comparative analysis, the author analyzes the properties of the


    electoral systems of Arab and Islamic countries. To this end, he develops a general overview of the elections as institutions - in the world of western democracies - and compares them with the elections of Arab countries. In this way he seeks to differentiate better, without ignoring the specific context of the region under study. The titles of the six parts of the articles give an overview of the approach used by the author: elections, voting, electoral system, the organization of elections, the integration of political forces that are opposed to democracy, and the functional ambivalence of elections.
