Youth and social change in Jordan and Egypt
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research
The Middle East has recently witnessed the rise of Muslim youth movements with an activist agenda. This article shows that these movements prove particularly attractive to urban upper middle class youth for whom religious engagement is about fostering the collective good as well as about self-empowerment. The authors conclude by discussing whether these movements are conducive to political action, hinder formal political participation, or should be viewed as constituting a new form of political engagement.
