Abstract:
Ideology, and the State in Post-Colonial Muslim Societies, by Nikki R. Keddie. For the author, the profile of countries with strong Islamist movements nearly always includes the following : the country should have had one or more nationalist governments which tried to unify the country by relying more on nationalist governments which tried to unify the country by relying more on national than Islamic ideology. It should have experienced rapid economie development and dislocations, which have brought rapid urbanization and visibly differential treatment for the urban poor and the urban rich. Although not ail such countries hâve oil income, virtually ail have profited from oïl economies at least second hand, and oil income has hastened the urbanization and income gaps, corruption, and visible wealth for the few that have made many responsive to the Islamists's call for equity, simplicity, and honesty. In addition, countries ripe for Islamism have experienced a longer and more radical break with an Islamically-oriented past government and society.
