Mobilisation politique et mouvements politico-religieux au Pakistan

Abstract

In Pakistan, the position that Islam should have in the State apparatus is a dilemma without consensus. The slow but effective disintegration of the Pakistani public institutions, the reintroduction of the Islamic rhetoric in mainstream politics have brought islamisation to an inescapable position. The Islamist opposition to a so-called Islamic regime can only express itself through marginal means as some sectarian and violent trends have shown. Since the beginning of the nineties, new Islamic social movements have emerged. Those movements are mobilising the masses through education, social action and research of closeness with the masses. Their purposes is to impose a renovated Islamic order. They want to become moral entrepreneurs filling up the social emptiness left by non-legitimate politicians or intellectuais.
