Different countries are governed in different ways. Theocracy is a way of governing a country and it's people using religion as the basis of it's laws. This book offers a detailed and non-judgemental look at specific countries that are governed in this way. It explores how this system becomes established and what it means to be governed in this way in the past, present and into the future.
Part of the Systems of Government series, this balanced book places Theocracy within a wider world context and looks at the effect this type of government has on its citizens, wealth and industry. Perfect for readers aged 12 and up.

*Starred Review* The Systems of Government series provides an importance service: it explains the major types of governments in ways that are substantial yet don’t overwhelm. Theocracy doesn’t just cover Middle Eastern countries; there’s a chapter on Jim Jones, a sidebar on early Mormons, and much about how religion can creep into a democracy. The series is impressively up-to-date—see the discussions on France’s ban on burkas and the Arab Spring (though Kim Jong Il is depicted as still alive). Most important, the series is deeply thoughtful and well designed, with plenty of excellent pictures and sidebars, and it stretches itself at every turn to suggest to readers what the future holds for various systems of government. Grades 5-8. --Ilene Cooper
