The Muslim Brotherhood and its Quest for Hegemony in Egypt

Abstract

Die Reihe "Politik und Gesellschaft des Nahen Ostens" beschäftigt sich mit aktuellen Entwicklungen und Umbrüchen im Nahen Osten -einer Region, die von hoher globaler Bedeutung ist und deren Dynamiken insbesondere auch auf Europa ausstrahlen. Kon ikt und Kooperation etwa im Rahmen der euro-mediterranen Partnerschaft, der Nahostkon ikt, energiepolitische Fragen, Umweltprobleme, Migration, Islam und Islamismus sowie Autoritarismus und Transformation sind wichtige Stichworte. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf politikwissenschaftlichen Werken, die die gesamte theoretische Breite des Faches abdecken, berücksichtigt werden aber auch Beiträge aus anderen sozialwissenschaftlichen Disziplinen, die relevante politische Zusammenhänge behandeln.

A gendered analysis of trends in the faith‐based provision of social services: Evidence from Egypt and Turkey

“…The social services provided by the Muslim Brotherhood are a case in point here. The Egyptian state under President Anwar Sadat (1970)(1971)(1972)(1973)(1974)(1975)(1976)(1977)(1978)(1979)(1980)(1981) allowed the MB services to be rebuilt-after being confiscated under the regime of Gamal Abdel Nasser (1954)(1955)(1956)(1957)(1958)(1959)(1960)(1961)(1962)(1963)(1964)(1965)(1966)(1967)(1968)(1969)(1970)-because of its policy of infitah (open-door; Brooke, 2019;Ranko, 2015). With this new economic policy, President Sadat hoped to attract foreign investors, increase growth rates, expand the economy, and meet the employment demands of the fast-growing population.…”

“…As Atia (2013) writes, "[a] shift in the scale of responsibility away from the state and toward individuals (or responsibilization) occurred in tandem with the growth of the third/voluntary or nongovernmental sector" (p. xxii). Thus, the services provided by nongovernmental and charity organizations significantly expanded Egypt in a way to include widespread services ranging from health clinics, schools, and Quran courses to childcare services and poverty alleviation (Atia, 2013;Brooke, 2019;Clark, 2004;Harb, 2008;Ranko, 2015).…”

Delegitimizing the Egyptian Regime: Negative Campaigning and Strategic Framing as Techniques to Demobilize Antagonists

“…Previous studies indicate that such a strategy is effective. For example, Abdelmajeed (2010), Ranko (2015) argue that the Brotherhood's communication exposing the state's abusive practices against the movement during the Mubarak era positively impacted the Brotherhood's popular support. They believe that the Brotherhood succeeded in employing the state's increasing repression in the movement's discourse and that this translated into a positive electoral outcome in 2005.…”

A Irmandade Muçulmana Egípcia: Aspectos transnacionais e nacionais de sua atuação política

“…No que diz respeito ao papel de fatores políticos, como mostra Annette Ranko (2015), a literatura sobre movimentos islamistas pode ser dividida em duas teses gerais: a tese da repressão e radicalização, e a tese da inclusão e da moderação.…”

“…A moderação é entendida como a aceitação dos procedimentos democráticos. A participação nas políticas eleitorais leva, segundo tal perspectiva, à moderação da ideologia e à interiorização dos princípios democráticos (RANKO, 2015). Porém, há aqueles autores que afirmam que os movimentos islamistas usam a participação no sistema político como meio para a ascensão política, geralmente através de eleições.…”
