Who are Egypt鈥檚 Islamists? What are the internal dynamics among Islamism鈥檚 various individual and collective constituents? How have the dramatic political developments in Egypt over the past four years affected the country鈥檚 Islamists, and what are their future prospects?

华体会 Senior Fellow Samuel Tadros鈥檚 two-year long study of Egyptian Islamism has resulted in two landmark reports. The first, "Mapping Egyptian Islamism":, profiles 128 currents, groups, and individuals that form the complex Egyptian Islamist scene. The second, "Islamist vs. Islamist: The Theologico-Political Questions":, examines the internal dynamics of Islamism in terms of the relationships among its leading figures and major tendencies, and their disagreements on key theological and political questions.

On December 18th, 华体会 hosted a panel discussion on the future of Egypt鈥檚 Islamists and Tadros鈥檚 two new reports featuring Mokhtar Awad of the Center for American Progress, William McCants of the Brookings Institution, and Eric Trager of the Washington Institute. Samuel Tadros moderated the discussion.
