The new and updated edition of Political Islam, World Politics and
Europe focusses on the shift within political Islam, in light of
9/11 and the events of the Arab Spring, from a jihadist struggle,
to institutional Islamism. Refuting what has often been referred to
by commentators as the 'moderation,' of Islamism, the second
edition of this book introduces the concept of 'institutional,'
Islamism, a process which Tibi argues was accelerated in the
aftermath of the Arab Spring. Both jihadist and institutional
Islamism pursue the same goal of an Islamist state, but disagree
fundamentally on the strategy for achieving it. Whilst jihadism is
committed to the idea of a (violent) Islamic world revolution,
institutional Islamism embraces political institutions as a means
to an end. Turning to the events of the Arab Spring in Tunisia,
Libya and Egypt this book attempts to determine whether an
abandonment of violence is enough to underpin a shift to genuine
democracy. Analysing the fall of Morsi in particular, Tibi
questions what lessons can be learnt from his presidency, and
argues that this event will not change the overall trend of
development from jihadism to institutional Islamism A timely
addition to existing literature, this book will be of interest to
students and scholars studying Middle Eastern and European
Politics, Political Islam and International Relations.
