Islamism and Revolution Across the Middle East: Transformations of Ideology and

The Nile on eBay   Islamism and Revolution Across the Middle East by Khalil al-Anani

Why did Islamists respond so differently to the Arab Spring? What do these different responses tell us about Islamists' ideological commitment and resilience, or the contexts within which they were functioning?This book is based on fieldwork on Islamists in eight Middle Eastern countries: Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Morocco, Yemen, Jordan, Kuwait and Syria. The contributors trace the transformation of the Islamists' ideology, behaviour, and strategy since the beginning of the Arab Spring. The aim of the book is to show that Islamists necessarily have an interactive and dialectical relationship with the environments in which they find themselves, and that their behaviour and political calculations are based on a wide range of local, regional and global factors. They take into account the impact of the different contexts the groups found themselves in from authoritarian to open and reformist, and contexts of armed conflict and civil war.An interdisciplinary project, the book captures the ongoing transformation of Islamist parties to explain the reasons why some movements could adapt and make shifts in their discourse and strategy, maintaining organizational coherence and unity, while others fell short and suffered major splits and schisms. The robust theoretical findings update existing literature on Islamism and advance the state of the field.

Review

A useful, and well-written, snapshot of the current state of Islamist politics in the Middle East, dealing with the opportunities, challenges, and limitations faced by a wide range of Islamist parties in the Arab Spring and its aftermath -- Sean Burns, Visiting Assistant Professor at the College of William and Mary in Virginia'This is an expert and judicious review of the manifold ways that Islamists have responded to the Arab Spring and the subject has been studied. It dispassionately interrogates conventional assumptions, investigates the effects of both inclusion and repression, and powerfully scrutinises an Islamism that is as resilient as it is protean. In addition to the informed country reviews, readers will benefit from the skilful elucidation of a post-revolutionary political Islam and guidance on how to think about it.' * James Piscatori, Durham University, UK *
