Scrutinises the political strategies and ideological evolution of Islamist actors and forces following the Arab uprisings across the Middle East and North Africa.

What role does political Islam play in the genealogy of protests as an instrument to resist neo-liberalism and authoritarian rule? How can we account for the internal conflicts among Islamist players after the 2011/2012 Arab uprisings? How can we assess the performance of Islamist parties in power? What geopolitical reconfigurations have the uprisings created, and what opportunities have arisen for Islamists to claim a stronger political role in domestic and regional politics? These questions are addressed in this book, which looks at the dynamics in place during the aftermath of the Arab uprisings in a wide range of countries across the Middle East and North Africa.

Hendrik Kraetzschmar is an Associate Professor in the Comparative Politics of the Middle East and North Africa at the University of Leeds. He is editor of democracy and Violence: Global Debates and Local Challenges (2010) and The Dynamics of Opposition Co-Operation in the Arab World (2013). Paola Rivetti is a Lecturer in the Politics of the Middle East and International Relations at Dublin City University. She is co-editor of Continuity and Change Before and After the Arab Uprisings: Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt (2015).
