The Political Survival of the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan: from Participation to Boycott The Political Survival of the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan: From Participation to Boycott Wisam Hazimeh Ph.D. Thesis University of East Anglia School of Political Science and International Studies June, 2015 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution Abstract This thesis explores the development of relations between the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood and Jordanian regime from 1945 to 2010, in which a distinction is made between the pre- and post-1989 eras that demarked a significant shift from partnership to crisis. Utilising an historical approach, the first era is defined by both parties’ mutual pragmatism, establishing a unified understanding of the Palestinian issue, and what the nature of politics in Jordan would be. However, the post-1989 era is analysed within the context of the regime’s shift in interests from internal to external issues, subsequently changing its pragmatic discourse towards the Brotherhood and Islamic movements. This study suggests that the shift in the regime’s focus, teamed with the implementation of policies such as the ‘one vote system’ and the peace treaty with Israel, left a space for radical voices to rise within the Brotherhood. To understand if the Brotherhood is compatible to Jordan’s parliamentarian system, the research identifies circles of division within the Brotherhood between Hassan al-Banna and Sayyid Qutb’s ideologies in the wake of regional conflict and poor regime-Islamist relations. This bifurcation is exacerbated in Jordan, as seen with the opposing fronts of the Jordanian Brotherhood’s Shoura Council: Hawks of Palestinian origin vs. Doves of Jordanian origin, claiming a new division: the ‘new’ Hawks, or, the ‘Salafist Brotherhood’. Supported by exclusive personal interviews with Brotherhood leaders, this thesis argues that allowing Islamist movements’ limited political participation in Jordan is essential for the country’s stability and religious modernity as since the 2007 boycott, increasing numbers of al-Bannaist Doves have converted into Qutbist Hawks. This has empowered the Hawks to demand fundamental reforms regarding the monarchy’s existence, initiating the Brotherhood’s final 2010 political boycott, and positioning the once-allied movement outside the political process and indefinitely removed from accountability.

  • AHMED CEVDET PAŞA'nin MANTIK VE İLİM ANLAYIŞI Murat Kelikli
    AHMED CEVDET PAŞA’NIN MANTIK VE İLİM ANLAYIŞI Murat Kelikli AHMED CEVDET PASHA’S UNDERSTANDING OF LOGIC AND SCIENCE ABSTRACT There are a lot of studies on Ahmed Cevdet Paşa who has been considered as statesman, politician, jurist, historian, sociologist and educationalist. At the same time Ahmet Cevdet Paşa’s studies on logic are critically important when we deal with the last period of the Ottoman Empire. His book which is called Miyar-ı Sedad had both influenced the development of instruction of logic education in madrasahs and created a turning point in the studies on modern logic. For this reason we have discussed his opinions about logic and science in this study and we have also tried to show that how his opinions on these issues affecected the instruction and the other fields. Key Words: Ahmed Cevdet Pasha, Logic, Science, Miyâr-ı Sedad ÖZET Ahmed Cevdet Paşa; devlet adamı, siyasetçi, hukukçu, tarihçi, sosyolog, eğitimci yönleriyle sıklıkla değerlendirilmiş, hakkında bolca çalışmalar yapılmış bir şah- siyettir. Bununla birlikte Ahmed Cevdet Paşa’nın mantık üzerine çalışmalarının, Osmanlı’nın son dönemleri gözönüne alındığında büyük önem taşıdığı görülmek- tedir. Ahmed Cevdet Paşa’nın kaleme almış olduğu Miyâr-ı Sedad isimli eseri Osmanlı medreselerinde mantık eğitiminin gelişimini etkilemiş, modern mantık çalışmalarının başlaması için bir dönüm noktası olmuştur. Bu sebeple bu çalışma- da Ahmed Cevdet Paşa’nın mantık ve ilim hakkındaki görüşleri incelenmiş, bu görüşlerin eğitim ve diğer çalışmaları nasıl etkilediği gösterilmeye çalışılmıştır.

  • ORIGINS of the PALESTINE MANDATE by Adam Garfinkle
    NOVEMBER 2014 ORIGINS OF THE PALESTINE MANDATE By Adam Garfinkle Adam Garfinkle, Editor of The American Interest Magazine, served as the principal speechwriter to Secretary of State Colin Powell. He has also been editor of The National Interest and has taught at Johns Hopkins University’s School for Advanced International Studies (SAIS), the University of Pennsylvania, Haverford College and other institutions of higher learning. An alumnus of FPRI, he currently serves on FPRI’s Board of Advisors. This essay is based on a lecture he delivered to FPRI’s Butcher History Institute on “Teaching about Israel and Palestine,” October 25-26, 2014. A link to the the videofiles of each lecture can be found here: http://www.fpri.org/events/2014/10/teaching-about- israel-and-palestine Like everything else historical, the Palestine Mandate has a history with a chronological beginning, a middle, and, in this case, an end. From a strictly legal point of view, that beginning was September 29, 1923, and the end was midnight, May 14, 1948, putting the middle expanse at just short of 25 years. But also like everything else historical, it is no simple matter to determine either how far back in the historical tapestry to go in search of origins, or how far to lean history into its consequences up to and speculatively beyond the present time. These decisions depend ultimately on the purposes of an historical inquiry and, whatever historical investigators may say, all such inquiries do have purposes, whether recognized, admitted, and articulated or not. A.J.P. Taylor’s famous insistence that historical analysis has no purpose other than enlightened storytelling, rendering the entire enterprise much closer to literature than to social science, is interesting precisely because it is such an outlier perspective among professional historians.

  • Annual Report 2010 | 2011
    Annual Report 2010 | 2011 “The network is not viewed as ‘Columbia abroad,’ but, rather, as Columbia embedded in what is emerging as a global community of scholarship.” Ken Prewitt, Vice President for Global Centers A Message from Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah The poet William Butler Yeats once wrote that “Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” Since 2009, the Columbia University Middle East Research Center (CUMERC) has lit countless fires across Jordan with studies and policy proposals, workshops and internships, seminars, roundtables, and partnerships. In its first months, CUMERC’s purview has been as wide as it has been deep. It has energized the arts, with film and music projects that teach and inspire, as much as entertain. It has helped expand and enrich the work of our Teachers’ Academy, providing training programs and partnerships that have made it a leader in the Arab World. Our young people have had access to internships. Our students and scholars have crossed cultural barriers, as well as disciplinary boundaries, opening themselves to new thinking and horizons. Workshops on conflict resolution in school classrooms, courses on financial securities, partnerships with ecology experts… the list carries on into the fields of social work, family health, child protection, and Arabic language study. From such a small beginning, CUMERC has made an incredible impact to the benefit of Jordan and the region. It is in this spirit of educational exploration that I support CUMERC’s adventure into new fields of research in Jordan. As the future unfolds, I am excited that, together, we will be sparking more fires in the years to come.

Léon Buskens & Baudouin Dupret - The Invention of Islamic Law: A History of Western Studies of Islamic Normativity and Their Spread in the Orient1 In memory of Albert Dekker (1952-2011) Normativity in Muslim societies existed before, and independent of the introduction of the concept of Islamic law at the end of the eighteenth century. However, nowadays the concept of Islamic law has become so self-evident and politicised, for Muslims as well as for outsiders, that some Muslims consider the analysis of its coming into being as a provocation.

The trend of disengagement from formal politics has been most acute among the younger generations. Four per cent of young people aged 18–29 are members of a political party, and only one in four voted in the most recent elections. 1 These developments have been accompanied by a relative absence of youth mobilisation in the public sphere. Until late 2010, most observers seemed to agree that large-scale youth movements were mainly a thing of the past, and that youth as a social category was alienated, divided, and frustrated, and played only a marginal role in the political arena (Meijer 2000 ; Dhillon et al. 2009 ). Consequently, the majority of youth- related studies examining the period prior to the Arab Uprisings concentrated on youth culture and identity, gender relations, religious orientation, arts and music, and generational confl ict (see, e.g. Herrera and Bayat 2010 ; Khalaf and Khalaf 2011 ). Where research focussed on youth activism, it emphasised its dispersed and fragmented engagement in form of ‘non- movements’ (Bayat 2010 ).

  • Rejectionist Islamism in Saudi Arabia: the Story of Juhayman Al-Utaybi Revisited
    Int. J. Middle East Stud. 39 (2007), 103–122. Printed in the United States of America DOI: 10.1017.S0020743806391064 Thomas Hegghammer and Stephane´ Lacroix REJECTIONIST ISLAMISM IN SAUDI ARABIA: THE STORY OF JUHAYMAN AL-UTAYBI REVISITED The storming of the Mecca mosque by Juhayman al-Utaybi and his fellow rebels in November 1979 represents one of the most spectacular events in the modern history of Saudi Arabia. Yet, it is one of the least understood. Even decades after the event, many important questions remain unanswered. Who were the rebels, and what did they want? Why and how did Juhayman’s group come into existence?1 What happened with the rebels and their ideas after the Mecca events? This article seeks to shed light on the story and legacy of Juhayman al-Utaybi with new information gathered from extensive fieldwork in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere. Whereas the details of the Mecca operation are relatively well known, the origin of the rebel group is shrouded in mystery.2 The existing literature on Juhayman’s movement is both sparse and contradictory. The interested student will find few in-depth studies of it in English.3 The Arabic-language literature on Juhayman is somewhat more extensive and has certainly been underexploited by Western academics, but many works suffer from inaccuracies and political bias.4 A key problem has been the absence of good primary sources, which has made it virtually impossible for historians to trace the origin and history of Juhayman’s movement in any significant detail. This changed in 2003, when Nasir al-Huzaymi, a former associate of Juhayman al-Utaybi, lifted the veil on his past and wrote a series of articles in the Saudi press about his experience as a member of Juhayman’s group.5 Al-Huzaymi had been active in the organization between 1976 and 1978 but left a year before the Mecca operation.

  • Romania Redivivus
    alexander clapp ROMANIA REDIVIVUS nce the badlands of neoliberal Europe, Romania has become its bustling frontier. A post-communist mafia state that was cast to the bottom of the European heap by opinion- makers sixteen years ago is now billed as the success story Oof eu expansion.1 Its growth rate at nearly 6 per cent is the highest on the continent, albeit boosted by fiscal largesse.2 In Bucharest more politicians have been put in jail for corruption over the past decade than have been convicted in the rest of Eastern Europe put together. Romania causes Brussels and Berlin almost none of the headaches inflicted by the Visegrád Group—Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia— which in 1993 declined to accept Romania as a peer and collectively entered the European Union three years before it. Romanians con- sistently rank among the most Europhile people in the Union.3 An anti-eu party has never appeared on a Romanian ballot, much less in the parliament. Scattered political appeals to unsavoury interwar traditions—Legionnairism, Greater Romanianism—attract fewer voters than do far-right movements across most of Western Europe. The two million Magyars of Transylvania, one of Europe’s largest minorities, have become a model for inter-ethnic relations after a time when the park benches of Cluj were gilded in the Romanian tricolore to remind every- one where they were. Indeed, perhaps the aptest symbol of Romania’s place in Europe today is the man who sits in the Presidential Palace of Cotroceni in Bucharest. Klaus Iohannis—a former physics teacher at a high school in Sibiu, once Hermannstadt—is an ethnic German head- ing a state that, a generation ago, was shipping hundreds of thousands of its ‘Saxons’ ‘back’ to Bonn at 4,000–10,000 Deutschmarks a head.
