Now available in paperback! Mohammed M. Political Exclusion in the Muslim World. Repression and Rebellion. Exclusive Organizations and Protracted Conflict. Boulder, CO: Lynne Rienner, , pages. The key concept and overall approach to this well-documented work is embedded in the dialectic in its subtitle, repression and resistance as the means to achieve an understanding of why Muslims rebel.

Drawing from the primary cases of Algeria and Egypt, the author views Muslim rebellions as a reaction to the predatory actions of states threatened by Islamist upsurge but whose political ambitions they fundamentally oppose and exclude from mainstream political processes.

I outline below the well-developed arguments for the benefit of the reader. Charting militant Islamist activism from reports in the chronologies in Middle East Journal quarterly in these two countries beginning in the mids and peaking in the early s especially between , and falling back to low levels after , the author follows the increasing extremism as tied to political exclusion.

Moreover, where Islamist activists were afforded some political participation--such as in Tunisia and Jordan--Islamist extremism was ameliorated. However, the case of Pakistan is notable since the state afforded some inclusion of the major Islamist party, Jama'at al-Islami, but this did not stem the tide of political extremism.

The author thus concludes that political exclusion, while a major contributing factor for Islamist rebellion, is not sufficient unto itself to induce mass insurgency p. Moving next to an analysis of the breadth and depth of political repression in the Muslim world, the author expresses surprise and alarm that this fact is given scant attention in theoretical and empirical studies.
