Alison Pargeter

The Muslim Brotherhood (eBook, ePUB)

From Opposition to Power

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A new, fully updated edition of this critically acclaimed title featuring a new chapter covering the 'Arab Spring' and the Egyptian parliamentary and presidential elections. This is an authoritative analysis, in which Alison Pargeter follows the twists and turns of the Muslim Brotherhood as it battled through the years of oppression under authoritarian regimes to finally become a key and legitimate political actor. From Egypt and Syria to Tunisia and Libya, the Brotherhood and its affiliates are now faced with the complex task of transforming themselves from semi-clandestine opposition movements into legitimate political actors and, in some cases, into ruling powers. 'Authoritative, sober, perceptive ... A must read’ Jason Burke. 'A tour de force’ Alan George, University of Oxford. 'A highly lucid and approachable analysis of the Brotherhood’ Richard Phelps, Perspectives on Terrorism. 'Highly recommended’ New Statesman.
