Book Synopsis
In this book, Birol Ba?kan explains the variation in attitudes and approaches towards the Muslim Brotherhood across 5 Gulf States: Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. He argues that this disparity is at the root of the ongoing Gulf crisis that erupted in June 2017.

Trade Review
"With The Politics of Islam, Birol Ba?kan provides a valuable overview of an important and understudied context of contemporary Islamism. Intense opposition towards the Muslim Brotherhood by governments such as the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia is a defining aspect of the new political landscape in the Middle East, and this book is a crucial resource for students, researchers, and policymakers seeking to make sense of these developments." -Peter Mandaville, George Mason University, author of Islam and Politics
