Reflection on the basic presuppositions of a democratic renewal in the Muslim world in a context of globalization

Summary/Abstract: “To braid a mat with sand as raw material or to make sand with a mat” is the enigma that the young people of a village should solve in 24 hours, on pain of suffering the wrath of a genius. In fact, according to a Yacouba 1myth, the young men of a village had, according to the fallacious pretext, decided to put to death all the old and wise considered from now on impotent and uncomfortable. But the young Ngnubo2 hid his in an attic, which escaped the holocaust. This is the new way of manufacturing, structuring and legitimizing the present social world, if we replace the old and wise (of whom the myth speaks) by Muslim societies and its actors. Indeed, if we say willingly that the nineteenth century was marked by a State-Nation conflict and the twentieth century by the clash of symbolic thoughts, the 21st century seems likely to be that of civilizational shock, because the boundaries between culture and religion are now lines of fracture or at least homes of ethnicization. However, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of communism have brought about the dialectisation and the coming together of all social relations under the name of democratization. However, the growing instability of the Muslim world (armed war, terrorism, foreign occupation ...) shows that the Muslim world is struggling to marry or fit into the model of democratization. It is on this basis that the present work tries, through the multiplication of the angles of view, to analyze the basic presuppositions slowing democratization in the Muslim world.
