title = {Selective Moderation of the Muslim Brotherhood under Mubarak – The Role of the Egyptian Regime’s Discourse and of Islamist Political Inclusion},
year = {2014},
note = {This paper aims to contribute to the literature on the
inclusion-moderation hypothesis. It seeks to identify factors that –
in addition to political inclusion – might hinder or further a
group’s ideological moderation. Specifically, this study analyses
the effect of a regime’s discourse and of political inclusion on the
ideological development of an Islamist group. The paper draws on the
case of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) under Mubarak. It finds that
moderation only takes hold when inclusion is coupled with a negative
regime discourse towards the Brotherhood. It further finds that the
moderating effect of such discourse is also sustained when inclusion
is reduced to a minimum. Further, this study argues that the content
of the regime’s discourse was a key determinant in shaping the only
selective moderation the Brotherhood underwent.Keywords: Islamism,
