What electoral mobilization choices do Islamist opposition parties make? How do they
relate to authoritarian incumbents? Which key factors influence the choices these
parties make? Islamist Opposition in Authoritarian Regimes explores the answers to
these questions by studying the path of the Islamist Party of Justice and Development
(PJD) in Morocco from 1992 to 2007. Wegner traces the partyʹs choices through an analysis
of organizational, ideological, and institutional constraints. Adopting a simple but
novel perspective, Wegner distinguishes Islamist parties from other opposition parties
because of their connection to a powerful social movement. The author shows how the
PJD initially made major progress in electoral politics by building up a strong party
organization, sustaining full support of the Islamist movement, and positioning itself
as the only credible opposition party. Ultimately, the failure of the PJD to win elections
was due to political concessions it made to secure its legality combined with a distancing
from the Islamist movement. Based on extensive field research in Morocco in 2003 and
2007 and drawing upon personal interviews with members, candidates, and leaders of
the PJD, Islamist Opposition in Authoritarian Regimes presents a meticulous and enlightening
case study. Wegner enriches our understanding of electoral authoritarianism in Morocco
and throughout the Arab- Islamic world. -- Book jacket
