“…It won no less than 47 seats in the lower-house elections of 2007, only three Islamist parties had received legal recognition (the PJD, the PRV and the now illegal Al-Badil al-Hadari). 16 Of these three, only the PJD, as indicated by the party's performance in these elections, was of a considerable size in terms of estimated support base. In fact, although it is still early, there appears to be a pattern emerging with regard to the legal recognition of Islamist political parties.…”

“…Equally preoccupied with the issue of political Islam is the literature on upgraded authoritarianism. Again the various strands of Islamism feature prominently here and Islamist movements are therefore analysed in detail in order to explain why and how incumbent regimes manage to survive by analysing their interactions (El‐Ghobashy 2005; Cavatorta 2007a). Much attention in this respect is devoted to the ‘divide and conquer’ strategies that regimes put in place by pitting leftist opponents against Islamist ones in order to weaken the opposition front (Cavatorta 2007b; Clark 2010).…”

The war on terror intensified widespread misconceptions about the nature and complexity of Islamism. The paper analyses the trajectory towards the acceptance of democracy and human rights on the part of mainstream Islamist groups and argues that such development ran the risk of being derailed by an ill-conceived war on terror that in the short term benefited those sectors of Islamism that always had violence at the centre of their political project.

This study compares the contextual factors (culture, political, legal, economic system, and stock exchanges) in three North Africa countries (Egypt, Morocco, and Tunisia). The contextual factors of these countries are very similar being Islamic culture and French law. These countries have similarities in their recent histories. They were occupied by European countries which resulted in English and French languages being spoken in this region. Dictatorial governments (regardless of the types of governments -socialist or otherwise) have also controlled these countries for considerable periods of time since independence. In line with international society, an openness policy has been adopted and many reforms have been made in the stock exchange of these countries. However, much work remains to be done. Although contextual factors are similar, each country is in a slightly different place today in regards to economic and capital markets' development. Policy-makers can learn from the experiences of these three NA countries as the obstacles and backgrounds of these three countries are similar. This is the first accounting paper of which we are aware that studies these three NA countries.
