The research addresses the factors that could influence the outcome of transitional negotiations, providing a novel approach to understanding these two political trends.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe secularist-Islamist conflict has posed a significant obstacle to democratization and has been a primary source of political instability in the Middle East. During the Arab Spring, disputes between these two political movements erupted shortly after their common enemy, the autocratic rulers, was deposed. Initially, there were disagreements regarding how to govern the transitional period. As the political competition intensified in the parliamentary and presidential elections, as well as during the drafting of the constitution, polarization deepened, leading to further ideological disagreements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUltimately, this conflict pushed Tunisia to the brink of civil strife in the summer of 2013 and ultimately led to the collapse of the transitional process in Egypt following the military coup.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn examining the causes of the conflict between secularists and Islamists during the transitional period, this work offers valuable insights from the Arab Spring experience. By updating the transition literature, the book serves as a crucial resource for academics and students interested in democratization theory and Middle East politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 626g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032133737\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MohammadAffan","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44104958148858,"sku":"9781032133737","price":147.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1646286689679_book.jpg?v=1646940300","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/secularism-confronts-islamism-divergent-paths-of-transitional-negotiations-in-egypt-and-tunisia-9781032133737","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
