Secularism confronts Islamism : divergent paths of transitional negotiations in Egypt and Tunisia /
Affan, Mohammad
Secularism confronts Islamism : divergent paths of transitional negotiations in Egypt and Tunisia / Mohammad Affan - Abingdon : Routledge, 2022 - (240 p.) - Routledge studies in Middle Eastern democratization and governmen ; 32 .
Mohammad Affan is the director of Al Sharq Strategic Research, an Istanbul-based think tank. A medical doctor by training, he holds a Ph.D. from the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies, University of Exeter in 2020.
This book provides in-depth examination of the recent confrontation between Islamists and secularists in Egypt and Tunisia. Presenting a new approach to understand Islamism and secularism, the research addresses the variables that could affect the outcome of transitional negotiations. The secularist-Islamist conflict proved to be a major hindrance for democratisation and a main source of political instability in the Middle East. During the Arab Spring, disputes between both political trends sparked shortly after getting rid of their common enemy: the autocratic rulers. First, they disagreed on how to lead the transitional period. Then, polarisation grew deeper with the political competition in the parliamentary and presidential elections and the ideological disagreements during the drafting of the constitution. Eventually, this conflict put Tunisia at a verge of civil strife in the summer of 2013 and led to collapse of the transitional process in Egypt after the military coup.
