Overview

What role does political Islam play in the genealogy of protests as an instrument to resist neo-liberalism and authoritarian rule? How can we account for the internal conflicts among Islamist players after the 2011/2012 Arab uprisings? How can we assess the performance of Islamist parties in power? What geopolitical reconfigurations have the uprisings created, and what opportunities have arisen for Islamists to claim a stronger political role in domestic and regional politics? These questions are addressed in this book, which looks at the dynamics in place during the aftermath of the Arab uprisings in a wide range of countries across the Middle East and North Africa.

Extremely rich in terms of empirical material...this book warrants attention from anyone interested in understanding the impact of the 2011 uprisings on political Islam across the region, as well as novel theoretical approaches to grasp with its changes. -- Erika Biagini, Dublin City University, British Journal of Middle Eastern Studies
