Following the launch in Cairo of the new EUISS book written by our director Álvaro de Vasconcelos on 26/03/2012, an article has been written on the most recent EUISS publication and conference which explained how democracy and Islam are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
The latest EUISS book ‘Listening to Unfamiliar Voices – The Arab Democratic Wave’ was launched in Cairo on 26 March 2012.
This seminar examined the political transition currently underway in Egypt, drawing on the democratic experiences of other nations such as Brazil, Indonesia and Portugal to analyse the constitution making processes, civil-military relations and the role of political Islam in the Arab world.
