Abstract
How would Islamists succeed to sustain their rule in spite of their lack of an Islamic blueprint for governance? I draw on an original fieldwork study conducted in Turkey and Egypt from 2010 to 2013 to advance a theory linking Islamists’ rule sustainability and political leverage vis-à-vis the state establishment. In contrast with post-Islamism, the results contended that Islamists sustain their rule if they have a high political leverage based on the adoption of a three-fold strategy comprising identification, differentiation, and alliance mobilisation. Based on 45 open-ended and semi-structured interviews conducted with members of Turkey’s Justice and Development Party and Egypt’s Freedom and Justice Party, findings significantly hold in authoritarian and hybrid regimes in the Middle East.
伊斯兰主义者如何在缺乏伊斯兰治理蓝图的情况下成功维持其统治?我借鉴了2010年至2013年在土耳其和埃及进行的一项原始实地研究,提出了一种将伊斯兰主义者的统治可持续性与政治影响力与国家建立联系起来的理论。与后伊斯兰主义相比,研究结果表明,如果伊斯兰主义者在采用包括认同、分化和联盟动员在内的三重战略的基础上拥有较高的政治影响力,他们就能维持自己的统治。根据对土耳其正义与发展党(Justice and Development Party)和埃及自由与正义党(Freedom and Justice Party)成员进行的45次开放式和半结构化采访,调查结果在中东威权政权和混合政权中具有重要意义。
期刊介绍:
Politics publishes cutting-edge peer-reviewed analysis in politics and international studies. The ethos of Politics is the dissemination of timely, research-led reflections on the state of the art, the state of the world and the state of disciplinary pedagogy that make significant and original contributions to the disciplines of political and international studies. Politics is pluralist with regards to approaches, theories, methods, and empirical foci. Politics publishes articles from 4000 to 8000 words in length. We welcome 3 types of articles from scholars at all stages of their careers: Accessible presentations of state of the art research; Research-led analyses of contemporary events in politics or international relations; Theoretically informed and evidence-based research on learning and teaching in politics and international studies. We are open to articles providing accounts of where teaching innovation may have produced mixed results, so long as reasons why these results may have been mixed are analysed.
