The book "Islamist Actors in the Aftermath of the Arab Uprisings: The AKP, Ennahda, and the Muslim Brotherhood" explores the aspirations and concerns of Islamist actors in the aftermath of the Arab Uprisings by examining two sets of relationships between Turkey's ruling AKP and the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, as well as the AKP and Tunisia's Ennahda. It presents a unique analysis of the interplay between these three critical Islamist entities, characterizing the actors, the structure, and the main features of the relationship. Existing scholarship has assumed that this relationship revolves primarily around an ideological Islamist agenda, but this research demonstrates a more complex and nuanced situation. Ezgi Basaran argues that the interplay was not based on an aspiration of building an ideological Islamist bloc in the MENA region, but rather revolved around the concept of political success and had a strong neoliberal ethos. Basaran draws on data collected from over 60 interviews with high-level members of the AKP, Ennahda, and Muslim Brotherhood to demonstrate how, in the hope of achieving success and legitimization, Ennahda and the Muslim Brotherhood have relied on the managerial prescriptions provided by the AKP. The contents of this success formula were derived from the AKP's experience as an Islamist party in power since 2002 and include tactics on crisis evasion, legitimization, winning elections, and maintaining power. The book highlights the importance of understanding the interplay between these Islamist entities in the aftermath of the Arab Uprisings and provides valuable insights into the dynamics of Islamist politics in the region.
