Includes in bibliographical references and index

This book is dedicated to filling the gap by examining the complex reality behind the Islamists' rejection of democracy. It focuses its analysis on two two streams of Islamism : the two Islamist groups that seek "extra-parliamentary" means to achieve their goals, that is MMI and HTI and the PKS Islamists who choose the existing political party system as a means of their power struggle.
