Islamism, State Control Over Religion And Social Identity: Turkey And Egypt, Alper Y. Dede
Dissertations
In post Cold War politics, as a powerful alternative to the authoritarian "status-quo" regimes of the Muslim World, Islamism has become among the most critical political issues as various Islamist movements increasingly challenge governments for more political reforms, democratization, and greater participation and in the political process.
The current debates on Islamism, though useful, often emphasize the issues of security, democracy, or stability.
