Who are Egypt’s Islamists? What are the internal dynamics among Islamism’s various individual and collective constituents? How have the dramatic political developments in Egypt over the past four years affected the country’s Islamists, and what are their future prospects?

Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Samuel Tadros’s two-year long study of Egyptian Islamism has resulted in two landmark reports. The first, "Mapping Egyptian Islamism":http://hudson.org/content/researchattachments/attachment/1444/mapping_e…, profiles 128 currents, groups, and individuals that form the complex Egyptian Islamist scene. The second, "Islamist vs. Islamist: The Theologico-Political Questions":http://hudson.org/content/researchattachments/attachment/1445/islamist_…, examines the internal dynamics of Islamism in terms of the relationships among its leading figures and major tendencies, and their disagreements on key theological and political questions.

On December 18th, Hudson Institute hosted a panel discussion on the future of Egypt’s Islamists and Tadros’s two new reports featuring Mokhtar Awad of the Center for American Progress, William McCants of the Brookings Institution, and Eric Trager of the Washington Institute. Samuel Tadros moderated the discussion.
