What drives the rise and fall of jihadist movements in North Africa and the Sahel ? This book offers a novel explanation of jihadist mobilization in this critical region and around the world, treating jihadist organizations as internally diverse political coalitions. These coalitions, the author argues, routinely negotiate and compromise with political forces around them, even as blocs within the coalitions negotiate, argue, and even fight with one another. Rather than treating jihadists as single-minded fanatics, the volume discusses them as nuanced political actors - who are, moreover, sometimes forced to accommodate the interests of sophisticated political actors in the societies they enter. The volume offers insight into key recent events in Mali, Libya, and elsewhere in the region, examining the northern Malian uprising of 2012 and its aftermath, the emergence and collapse of Islamic State territories in Libya, and the deterioration of security and governance in central Mali and northern Burkina Faso. Based on fieldwork in the region, jihadist primary source documents, and a detailed examination of historical and political context, the volume sheds new light on a widely misunderstood part of Africa.

This book provides a pioneering and original study of the regional effects of political Islam. It sets out the multifaceted interactions between Islam and politics in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, focussing in particular on the so-called Islamic State (IS) organization in its broad discussion of political Islam. Utilizing a trans-disciplinary perspective, the book interacts with social constructivism and complex realism theories to analyse the clash between the modern notion of the state and that of identity in the region. Looking at issues such as the rise of IS and its attempts to establish a caliphate, the book offers three different, yet complementary, levels of analysis for its discussion. These being : Regional (dis)order, the erosion of state power and its boundaries, and the role of non-state actors in shaping the politics of the MENA region. Each of these levels are addressed in detail in turn in order to build a comprehensive picture of state and political Islam in the Arab core of the MENA region. What emerges is a comprehensive analysis of the interlinked relationships between political and Islamic elements of Arab polities and societies.

Dans l’Ouest saharien ; l’islam confrérique a constitué dès la fin du XVIIe siècle un phénomène qui a dépassé par son impact la dimension strictement religieuse. La mise en perspective de la confrérie Fâdiliyya, dont il est question ici, permet de connaître le fonctionnement et le rôle d’un islam très socialement incarné et actif, ainsi que les formes, les représentations, les pratiques et les stratégies d’un ordre mystique. Le modèle de la sainteté, la production du social et du politique par le religieux, les rapports entre les leaders confrériques et les autorités politiques, la gestion du pouvoir et de l’espace et les processus de succession sont les questions centrales traitées dans ce livre. Au-delà de l’espace ouest-saharien, ce travail apporte, par son approche théorique, une contribution à l’histoire et à la fonction du soufisme et de la sainteté.
