Description
Sebnem Gumuscu’s authoritative study analyzes the governing trajectories of Islamist parties in Turkey, Egypt, and Tunisia following their rise to power. Through detailed comparative analysis, the book investigates whether Islamist governments consolidate democratic institutions or gravitate toward authoritarianism.
Drawing on extensive research and case studies, Gumuscu examines how these parties balance religious ideology with state governance, institutional constraints, and international pressures. The work provides critical insights into the political outcomes in Turkey under the AKP, Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood government, and Tunisia’s Ennahda party.
This essential resource for scholars and policymakers challenges assumptions about the compatibility of Islamism and democracy, offering nuanced perspectives on governance, political transitions, and the future of democratic institutions in the Muslim-majority world.
