Resumen
MOLINA FUENTES, Mariana G.. Laicism in context. Links between politics and religion in the Middle East. Iztapalapa. Rev. cienc. soc. humanid. [online]. 2022, vol.43, n.92, pp.9-38. Epub 18-Mar-2022. ISSN 2007-9176. https://doi.org/10.28928/ri/922022/atc1/molinaf.
The Middle East is usually thought of as a conflictive geographical area, by virtue of the existence of radical groups that advocate the establishment of Islamic states. However, neither Islam nor the political projects that take it as a base are monolithic or homogeneous. To understand them, it is necessary to historically situate the development of relations between the political and the religious in the countries that make up the region. This article proposes a regional analysis that recovers the link between secularization and laicism since the First World War. To this end, it refers to the concrete cases of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Iran, which show the complexity of both processes and the multip.licity of state responses to them.
