» Comprendre l'Islam Politique dans les Sociétés Arabes Méditerranéennes: Défis et Perspectives pour la Politique Etrangère de l'UE.
La Chaire TOTAL sur la Politique étrangère de l'UE a organisé le 24 février 2012 une conférence internationale sur la place de l'Islam politique dans les sociétés arabes méditerranéennes et les implications pour la politique étrangère de l'Union européenne.
De par ses nombreux partenaires dans le monde arabe et méditerranéen, c'est avec une attention toute particulière que le service de développement du Collège d'Europe s'est intéressé à la conférence. Charles Thépaut, assistant de recherche pour la Chaire TOTAL sur la politique étrangère de l'UE vous livre les moments forts de l'événement.
La première partie de la conférence a permis de préciser ce que le terme « Islam politique » recouvrait. Les interventions d’Emilio Platti et de François Burgat ont permis d’établir que les acteurs de l’Islam politique partageaient avant tout un « lexique » et des références religieuses, mais que leur projet politique n’est ni unique, ni figé. L’analyse des sermons accompagnant les soulèvements montre par exemple que trois sources de légitimité ont été mobilisées : le nationalisme, l’Islam politique et la démocratie libérale.
