Malika Zeghal Libros

The book delves into the historical roots and evolution of Moroccan Islamist movements within a political system that merges electoral competition with authoritarianism. It highlights the influence of Ulama and Islamic institutions, exploring their complex relationship with the monarchy. The author examines how the integration of an Islamist party into the political landscape has reshaped strategies and discourses. Offering insights on democratization in the Arab world, it combines historical context with contemporary events, including reactions to the 2003 Casablanca attacks and the 2007 elections.
