Description
This dissertation examines how transnationalism can affect Islamists’ moderation
in both Egypt and Morocco. In this dissertation, I do an in-depth comparative case study
analysis to assess the prospects of moderation of two Islamists political entities, the
Muslim Brotherhood as a transnational social movement and the Morocco Party of
Justice and Development (JDP), which has no transnational ties. Both the Muslim
Brotherhood and PJD came to power after the Arab uprising in 2011 and were key
players in the democratic transitions in both countries; however, the entities are not
related. Further, the dissertation will explore the moderation level of the Muslim
Brotherhood and PJD. Current literature on Islamists and moderation theory focuses on
political inclusion, political learning and repression as factors that would affect the
moderation of an Islamist group. Looking at Islamists as a transnational social movement
is a new aspect in the study of Islamism.
