""A fine analysis of the complex ideological political struggles that are tearing the Arab world apart and shaping its future. Taghreed Alsabeh gives us every reason to remain hopeful despite the setbacks of the Arab Spring."" --Moncef Marzouki, former President of Tunisia ""Many of the deep fears Islamists have inspired in policy circles actually involved not their commitment to democracy but their possible foreign policy behaviors. Moving beyond apprehension to empirical research, Alsabeh explores how Islamists actually evolved in the different national contexts in which they found themselves playing an influential role."" --Nathan J. Brown, Professor, The George Washington University, USA ""This book is a timely contribution to understanding a neglected field in the literature on Islamist parties in the Arab world, namely their foreign policies. Combining a historical perspective with international relations, the author delves into the choices Islamists in power make. Away from stereotypes about their ideological rigidity, Post-Arab Spring Islamists in Morocco, Egypt and Tunisia showed flexibility while building bridges and strengthening relations with Muslim countries and the West sympathetic to their political programmes."" --Madawi Al-Rasheed, Professor, London School of Economics, UK
