{"product_id":"muslim-brotherhood-2","title":"Muslim Brotherhood","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Muslim Brotherhood is the most significant and enduring \u003ci\u003eSunni \u003c\/i\u003eIslamist organization of the contemporary era. Its roots lie in the Middle East but it has grown into both a local and global movement, with its well-placed branches reacting effectively to take the opportunities for power and electoral competition offered by the Arab Spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegarded by some as a force of moderation among Islamists, and by others as a façade hiding a terrorist fundamentalist threat, the potential influence of the Muslim Brotherhood on Middle Eastern politics remains ambiguous. \u003ci\u003eThe Muslim Brotherhood: The Arab Spring and its Future Face \u003c\/i\u003eprovides an essential insight into the organisation, with chapters devoted to specific cases where the Brotherhood has important impacts on society, the state and politics. Key themes associated with the Brotherhood, such as democracy, equality, pan-Islamism, radicalism, reform, the Palestine issue and gender, are assessed to reveal an evolutionary trend within the movement since its founding in Egypt in 1928 to its manifestation as the largest Sunni Islamist movement in the Middle East in the 21st century. The book addresses the possible future of the Muslim Brotherhood; whether it can surprise sceptics and effectively accommodate democracy and secular trends, and how its ascension to power through the ballot box might influence Western policy debates on their engagement with this manifestation of political Islam. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on a wide range of sources, this book presents a comprehensive study of a newly resurgent movement and is a valuable resource for students, scholars and policy makers focused on Middle Eastern Politics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54245296243032,"sku":"9780415660006","price":204.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415660006_ccec69e8-009f-47aa-a897-c14c067478c2.jpg?v=1779426071","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/muslim-brotherhood-2","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
