Islamists and the politics of the Arab uprisings: governance, pluralisation and contention

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.
