It was recognized by the majority of the United Nations but some states did not, which of its neighbour Israel. As a result people of both nations still claim the same territory and live next to each other with a lot of tensions. It can partly be told by analyzing the landscape using remote sensing images. On this colour composite, sea appears dark blue, vegetated areas show in green, bare soils in yellow and cities in indigo. Some Israeli settlements have been outlined on this image, based on United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN OCHA).

Robbins ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The author would like to thank Matias Bargsted, Fares Braizat, Katherine Gallagher, Alaa Lahloh, and Mahmoud Jaraba for insightful comments and critiques. What Accounts for the Success of Islamist Parties in the Arab World? Dubai Initiative – Working Paper Michael D. H. Robbins Kennedy School of Government Harvard University [email protected] June 2009 What accounts for the success of IslamIst PartIes In the arab WorlD? | 1 Introduction Islamist organizations are generally considered to be the strongest and most credible opposition to incumbent regimes throughout the Arab world. Fear of Islamic takeovers has led regimes and other outside powers to justify not hold- ing free elections, citing examples that include the Algerian election of 1991, the Iranian Revolution, the AKP victory in Turkey and the perceived popularity of Islamist opposition groups throughout much of the Arab world (Brumberg 2002). Yet, other analysts have questioned the actual strength of Islamist movements with- in the Arab world, noting that although Islamists may be the main challenger, few have actually been successful in taking power (Roy 1994). Defining Islamist Parties Since the Iranian revolution, the concept of political Islam has gained much currency in the region. However, the exact definitions of this concept have varied. At its most basic, political Islam has been defined as “Islam used to a political end” (Knudsen 2003). While more nuanced definitions exist (see Fuller 2003, Denoeux 2002), ultimately political Islam represents an instrumental use of the Islamic faith within the political sphere.
