Abstract

The literature on student activism finds that protesters come from prestigious universities and from the social sciences and humanities. Studies of political Islam, however, emphasize the prominence of engineering and medical students from secular institutions. Contributing to both literatures, this paper investigates Islamist students targeted by security forces in Egypt following the coup of 2013. Matching 1,352 arrested students to the population of male undergraduates, it analyzes how the arrest rate varied across 348 university faculties. We find that activists came disproportionately from institutions that provided a religiously inflected education. This contradicts the conventional emphasis on secular institutions. Most importantly, we find that Islamists tended to come from faculties that required higher grades and that admitted students who studied science in secondary school. Controlling for grades, engineering and medicine were not especially prominent. These findings suggest that Islamist stud...

伊斯兰激进主义的教育背景:埃及的精英学生和宗教机构

关于学生激进主义的文献发现，抗议者来自著名大学以及社会科学和人文学科。然而，对政治伊斯兰的研究强调了来自世俗机构的工程和医学学生的突出地位。本文对2013年埃及政变后被安全部队盯上的伊斯兰学生进行了调查，为这两篇文献做出了贡献。将1352名被捕学生与男性本科生进行匹配，分析了348所大学院系的被捕率如何变化。我们发现，积极分子不成比例地来自那些提供宗教教育的机构。这与传统上对世俗制度的强调相矛盾。最重要的是，我们发现伊斯兰主义者往往来自要求更高成绩的学院，这些学院招收了在中学学习科学的学生。对成绩、工程和医学的控制并不是特别突出。这些发现表明伊斯兰主义者。。。

期刊介绍： Mobilization: An International Quarterly is the premier journal of research specializing in social movements, protests, insurgencies, revolutions, and other forms of contentious politics. Mobilization was first published in 1996 to fill the need for a scholarly review of research that focused exclusively with social movements, protest and collective action. Mobilization is fully peer-reviewed and widely indexed. A 2003 study, when Mobilization was published semiannually, showed that its citation index rate was 1.286, which placed it among the top ten sociology journals. Today, Mobilization is published four times a year, in March, June, September, and December. The editorial board is composed of thirty internationally recognized scholars from political science, sociology and social psychology. The goal of Mobilization is to provide a forum for global, scholarly dialogue. It is currently distributed to the top international research libraries and read by the most engaged scholars in the field. We hope that through its wide distribution, different research strategies and theoretical/conceptual approaches will be shared among the global community of social movement scholars, encouraging a collaborative process that will further the development of a cumulative social science.
