"Why do some autocrats allow Islamist movements political space while others exclude them from state-managed political contestation, and what impact does the participation of Islamist movements in politics have on existing opposition to economic liberalization? Employing cross-historical analysis, this book argues that the story of Islamist incorporation is intimately linked to the state's struggle to move beyond the redistributive social pact that emerged under President Gamal Abdel-Nasser. Specifically, political leaders have opened space toward Islamist movements in an attempt to contain opposition to de-Nasserization policies, which limited state sponsored redistributive schemes and welfare programs. The political ascendancy of Islamist movements has weakened opposition to economic liberalization schemes by activating and deepening identity-based divides among proponents of redistribution, particularly the leftist opposition. More broadly, the emergence of Islamists as dominant political actors has crowded out conflicts over redistribution of wealth in national politics in favor of culture wars and battles over the religious identity of the state. This book contributes to our understanding of the role of identity politics and culture wars in advancing economic liberalization", Includes bibliographical references and index., Introduction : more identity, less class : paths to classless politics -- Inheriting Nasser's debts : the rise and fall of the Nasserist social pact -- Islamist incorporation in the state of science and faith -- Sadat's brothers : Islamist incorporation and the autonomous path -- Nasser's comrades : state guardianship and the dependent path -- Islamist incorporation, national identity, and the left : a tale of two comrades -- Conclusion " reflections on the lgacies of Islamist incorporation and the post-Mubarak politics., "Why do some autocrats allow Islamist movements political space while others exclude them from state-managed political contestation, and what impact does the participation of Islamist movements in politics have on existing opposition to economic liberalization?

Surveys of the situation and prospects of the contemporary Left over the past three decades have frequently underscored themes of fragmentation, decline, even terminal demise. This thesis explores the question of the contemporary Left through interviews conducted with participants in New Zealand social movements. The general theoretical literature around the Left and social movements has consistently highlighted a number of social changes and challenges facing the Left today: the split between old and new Lefts following the rise of the new social movements; economic transformation (for instance, post-Fordism), and changes in class composition; the rise of neo-liberalism, and the dislocating effects of globalization; intellectual challenges, such as the demise of Marxism and the rise of post-modern philosophy; challenges to the state, and the arrival of a "post-political" condition. Analysis of the New Zealand literature around the Left and social movements shows congruent arguments and themes, as well as suggesting Antipodean specificities. To examine these contentions, a series of interviews were conducted with participants in "Left" social movements. These interviews suggest both congruence with some of the arguments in the literature and complexities that do not confirm these generalizations. In particular, the suggestion that a third phase of the Left is emerging, characterized by the joining of culturalist and materialist emphases, appears somewhat confirmed. In addition, a number of the challenges signalled in the literature were singled out by interviewees as pressing - for instance, neo-liberalism and the mediatisation of politics. With respect to the modes of action of social movements connected to the Left, there was here too some confirmation of themes from the literature - for instance, the importance of networking. On the other hand, the widespread theme of the wholesale decline of collective actions was put into question by those interviewed. While no

Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 1971., Summary: The thesis investigates the paradoxical similarity of the foreign policy views of right-wing "isolationists" in the late 1940's and the early 1950's and those of comtemporary left-wing critics. Senator Robert Taft of Ohio, Representative Howard Buffet of Nebraska, and the publicists Frank Chodorov, Garet Garrett, Louis Bromfield, and Felix Morley believed that imperial American policy would continually risk war, and that centralization, militarism, staggering taxation, inflation and a garrison state would inevitably result from taking the path of empire. As classical liberals, they saw the imperial impetus to stat ism as the major threat to libertarian values and, hence, opposed vigorous foreign policy. The Korean War was a watershed: most Rightists, even Taft, became Asian interventionists. The publicists, not needing to win voters committed to Cold War, held the old views longer. The rise of National Review contributed to the demise of right-wing anti-intervencionism. Contemporary libertarianism revives the old viewpoint., Collection: FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
