This thesis aims to analyze the relationship between two main inspiration sources of the Arab world, both emerged in Egypt: Gamal Abdel Nasser and the Muslim Brotherhood. The focus is defined as the relationship between the Egyptian state of Nasser’s era and the Muslim Brotherhood; hence the time period is determined to be between 1952 and 1970. The reason why I have chosen this subject is that for the Middle East in general, and Egypt in particular, both actors have played a significant role in the path of deposing Western colonialism and engaging with modernism. On the other hand as both sides could provide alternative theories and means of governance against each other, the relationship seems more than interesting; especially regarding region’s endeavor of providing a strong response and local alternatives to dominant Western values of modernism, it seems more than worthy to focus on these two main players and their interactions with each other.

Subordination of the Arab regional system : the cases of Egypt & Iraq Işıksal, Hüseyin; Dağı, İhsan Duran; Department of International Relations (2012) This study attempts to analyze the ‘subordination’ of the Arab regional system by giving special reference to Egypt and Iraq, as the two most prominent Arab countries that challenged the established Westphalian state system in the Middle East. Through introducing the concept of ‘subordination’, the research seeks to answer the questions of ‘what makes the Middle East different than other regions?’ and ‘how the Middle East subordinated to the international system?’ The conduct of the thesis is based upon thr...
Resilience of the Nasserist ideology in Egypt: from its emergence to the Arab spring Şahin, Canan; Tür Küçükkaya, Özlem; Department of Middle East Studies (2014) This thesis aims to analyze the relevance of the Nasserist ideology in the post-Tahrir Egyptian political scene by looking into its formation and transformation to date. It attempts to respond to the central question as to how come Nasserist ideology, which is thought to have fulfilled its mission at the end of the 1960s, seems to have been resurrected in the contemporary Egypt whether at the regime level in the embodiment of a military figure General Abdal Fattah Al-Sisi or at the oppositional level in the...
Explaining cold peace in the Middle East: the cases of Egyptian-Israeli and Jordanian-Israeli peace processes Sütalan, Zeynep; Tür Küçükkaya, Özlem; Department of International Relations (2015) This thesis analyzes the Egyptian-Israeli and Jordanian-Israeli peace processes in terms of peace-making, the nature of the peace treaties, and peace-sustaining from the Arab perspective. These peace processes have not gone much further than ‘cold peace’ dashing the hopes for a ‘real peace’ in the region. This thesis argues that the ‘cold peace’ phenomenon evident in the cases of Egyptian-Israeli and Jordanian-Israeli peace processes is the reflection of the autonomy of the state since the authoritarian sta...
The transformation of the political ideology and the democracy discourse of the muslim brotherhood in Egypt Avşar, Esra; Tür Küçükkaya, Özlem; Department of Middle East Studies (2008) This thesis analyzes the main ideological transformation that the Muslim Brotherhood has undergone in Egypt.

Within the scope of this leading theme, the study examines the historical overview of the Movement and analyzes the central periods and turning points of this transformation at two basic levels: Domestic and international. The study argues...
WESTERNIZATION AS CULTURAL TRAUMA: EGYPTIAN RADICAL ISLAMIST DISCOURSE ON RELIGIOUS EDUCATION Asik, Mehmet Ozan; Erdemir, Aykan (2010-03-01) In this article, the relation between the Westernization experience and the radical Islamists reaction in Egypt is examined. It is argued that it is necessary to focus on the historical imagination of Westernization to understand the Egyptian reaction as manifested in Islamist religious educational discourse. The historical imagination appears to be based on a traumatic experience which was triggered by a traumatic event, namely British colonialism. The religious educational discourse in Egypt, an opportune...
