WORLD BANK PANEL DISCUSSION ON: Temptations of Power: Islamists & Illiberal Democracy in a New Middle East by Shadi Hamid Thursday May 8 at 12:30 PM in J1-050 Auditorium What are the boundaries of Islamic politics and the forces that shape them? In countries as diverse as Tunisia, Libya, Syria, Egypt, and Yemen, Islamist groups remain an important force in the ranks of opposition and the halls of power. However pragmatic some Islamist groups may be, their ultimate goal remains the Islamization of the state. Based on hundreds of interviews and drawing from history, culture, political theory and theology, the author investigates the past, present and future of Islamist movements, how and why they change over time, and their ultimate objectives for society.
