The New Spirit of Islamism: Interactions Between the Akp, Ennahda and the Muslim Brotherhood

＂This book explains the aspirations and concerns of Islamist actors in the aftermath of the Arab Uprisings by looking at the relationship between Turkey’s ruling AKP, the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and Tunisia’s Ennahda. It presents the first scholarly study of the interplay between the AKP, Ennahda and the MB, characterising the actors, the structure and the main features of the relationship and thereby illuminating a political confluence among these three critical Islamist entities in the aftermath of the Arab Uprisings＂--
