Secularization From Without, Secularization From Within
Theory of secularization has very many aspects. One of them is: “Secularization from without“versus “Secularization from within”
Secularization from within has an internal nature and come up from modification of social institutions. During the time, the process of differentiation divide political power from religion and sacred institutions undermine by secular one.
In secularization from without, conversely, a foreign power attempt to develop the process in a society.
Democracy, human rights and economic development are the main characters of modernization. According to the old theory, modernization and secularization are cognate phenomena. Nevertheless secularization from without will not triumph. Iran and Turkey 30 years ago, and Afghanistan and Iraq today are the top examples of secularization from without.
