Democracy or Authoritarianism - Islamist Governments in Turkey, Egypt, and Tunisia (Hardcover)

The first Islamist parties to come to power through democratic
means in the Muslim world were those in Turkey, Tunisia, and Egypt.
The Justice and Development Party (AKP) won the 2002 election in
Turkey, and Ennahda (Renaissance Party) in Tunisia and the Muslim
Brotherhood in Egypt were both elected in the wake of the Arab
uprisings of 2010/11. Yet only Ennahda could be said to have
fulfilled its democratic promise, with both the Turkish and
Egyptian governments reverting to authoritarianism. Drawing upon
extensive fieldwork in three countries, Sebnem Gumuscu explains why
some Islamist governments adhered to democratic principles and
others took an authoritarian turn following electoral success.
Using accessible language, Gumuscu clearly introduces key theories
and considers how intra-party affairs impacted each party's
commitment to democracy. Through a comparative lens, Gumuscu
identifies broader trends in Islamist governments and explains the
complex web of internal dynamics that led political parties either
to advance or subvert democracy.
