The New Spirit of Islamism
I.B. Tauris (Verlag)
978-0-7556-5295-2 (ISBN)
Existing scholarship has assumed that this relationship revolves primarily around an ideological Islamist agenda, however, this research demonstrates a more complex and nuanced situation. Ezgi Basaran puts forward that the interplay was not based on an aspiration of building an ideological Islamist bloc in the MENA region, but rather revolved around the concept of political success and had a strong neoliberal ethos. Basaran draws on data collected from over 60 interviews with high-level members of the AKP, Ennahda and Muslim Brotherhood to demonstrate how, in the hope of achieving success and legitimization, Ennahda and the Muslim Brotherhood have relied on the managerial prescriptions provided by the AKP. The contents of this success formula were derived from the AKP’s experience as an Islamist party in power since 2002 and includes tactics on crisis evasion, legitimization, winning elections and maintaining power.
Ezgi Basaran is a journalist and academic, currently based at St.Anthony’s College, University of Oxford, UK as a Research Associate. She previously reported from conflict zones in Iraq, Iran, and Israel and was the youngest ever editor of Radikal, which prior to its closure was the biggest centre-left news outlet in Turkey. Her first book in English, Frontline Turkey, was published by I.B. Tauris in 2017. She writes for major publications, including the BBC, the Financial Times, The Economist, the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post.
