| Résumé anglais | Islamism and populism, Rémy Leveau. The irruption of Islamist movements on front and Middle-East stage coincide with the wearing out of political slogans developed during decolonization. It is contemporary with the adoption of a free-market development model in which economic globalization has increased the social cost. By turning against the leaders who had supported them for a long time because they considered them as a useful counterweight to the Marxist opposition, the Islamicists recuperated the discontent of the young populations, frustrated in their hopes for prosperity. They proposed a just model founded on religion and community and offered an outlet for the despair of societies that felt like humiliated victims of foreign powers. This maximalist discourse doesn't exclude compromise with the powers in place, as shown by the example of Turkey or Algeria before the explosion of the present conflict. A political and cultural movement Islamism is also a "populist" response to economic policies of structural adjustment imposed from the exterior that the political and economic elites have used at the price of the exclusion of major parts of the society. | |
