Does the cause of Islamist terrorism relate to the lack of democracy in the Middle East? Through detailed research into the activities of both radical and moderate organizations across the Middle East, such as the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas and Hizbullah, and via interviews with key personnel, Katerina Dalacoura investigates whether repression and political exclusion pushed Islamist entities to adopt terrorist tactics. She also explores whether inclusion in the political process has had the opposite effect of encouraging Islamist groups toward moderation and ideological pragmatism. In a challenge to the conventional wisdom, she concludes that Islamist terrorism is not a direct consequence of authoritarianism in the Middle East and that there are many key factors that generate radicalism. 517 3 $aIslamist Terrorism & Democracy in the Middle East 606 $aTerrorism$zMiddle East 606 $aTerrorism$xReligious aspects 606 $aIslamic fundamentalism 606 $aIslam and politics 606 $aDemocracy$zMiddle East 607 $aMiddle East$xPolitics and government 615 0$aTerrorism 615 0$aTerrorism$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aIslamic fundamentalism. 615 0$aIslam and politics. 615 0$aDemocracy 676 $a363.3250956 686 $aPOL000000$2bisacsh 700 $aDalacoura$b Katerina$01470193 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789991203321 996 $aIslamist terrorism and democracy in the Middle East$93681869 997 $aUNINA
