Political Islam and European Foreign Policy: Perspectives from Muslim Democrats of the MediterraneanAuthorsMichael Emerson and Richard Youngs (eds) Research AreaIslam and Europe; EU Neighbourhood, Foreign and Security Policy SeriesCEPS Paperbacks NotesThe time is ripe for the European Union, its institutions and member states to undertake an explicit review of its current policy of ‘benign neglect’ towards the broad collection of ‘Muslim democrat’ parties in the Mediterranean Arab states.

Contributors include Michael Emerson and Richard Youngs (eds), Samir Amghar, Talal Atrissi, Senem Aydin, Amel Boubekeur, Ruşen ?akır, Salah Eddine Jorshi, Salam Kawakibi, Emad El-Din Shahin, Robert Springborg and Nathalie Tocci.
