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. Examining the causes of the conflict
between the secularists and the Islamists during the transitional
period, the work provides new insights from the Arab Spring
experience. Updating the transition literature, the book is a key
resource to academics and students interested in democratization
theory and Middle East politics.
