Abstract
This thesis deconstructs the contrasting discourses of Political Islam and Democratic
Peace as understood in conventional wisdom. In popular discourse, both are mutually
exclusive and incompatible terms, however, this dissertation argues against their mainstream
understanding. By adopting a Structured, focused comparison, five levels of analysis
catering to Schmittian political, Gramscian cultural, Foucaldian ideological, as well as
Kelsian Legal are used throughout the study to analyze the two cases under discussion. There
are two main assumptions of this study. First, the framework upon which political Islam is
built suffers from methodological nationalism; an ontological pre-condition that has
contributed largely to its alleged failure.
