Diffused Congruence: The American Muslim Experience
Religion & Spirituality:Islam
Parvez and Omar sit down with returning guest Shadi Hamid to discuss the midterm elections and his new book, The Problem of Democracy: America, the Middle East, and the Rise and Fall of an Idea.
In The Problem of Democracy, Shadi Hamid reimagines the ongoing debate on democracy’s merits and proposes an ambitious agenda for reviving the lost art of democracy promotion in the world’s most undemocratic regions. What happens when democracy produces "bad" outcomes? Is democracy good because of its outcomes or despite them?
