The aim of the paper is to analyse the ongoing transformation process within the Islamist
movements using the example of the moderate Islamic Action Front party in Jordan. The
dilemma of participation in the 2010 general elections raised tensions between the Muslim
Brotherhood in Jordan and its political wing, the Islamic Action Front, and between doves and
hawks of the same organizations. Internal debate on the future has started recently among
different groups within the Islamist movement in Jordan.
The research is based on the author‘s recent field experience in Jordan (April–July 2010,
Andrew W. Mellon Fellowship at the American Centre of Oriental Research, Amman, Jordan).
The author also conducted research in Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and Egypt, where several
interviews were carried out with leading and lower level Islamist politicians. The dynamic
changes within Islamic Action Front Party in Jordan and its relation with the regime has been
used as reference point. The main question of the research was aa how the changing political
and regional context shapes decisions of the Islamist with special attention to the acceptance of
democratic values and human rights, political participation, and the meanings of Islamic values
in the 21st century, possible cooperation with secular parties/movements/the regime.
