Abstract
Discourses on Political Islam may be divided into two mounting phases. First one has occurred after Iranian Revolution in 1979 and second one has appeared as a result of Arab Spring wave in 2011. A critical analysis of these discourses in terms of their trajectories and resistance is needed to be found out for strategies of future policy orientations. This doctoral dissertation aims to unfold genealogical notions backing political Islam related discourses and attempts to search out its complementation or contradiction with Islamic political theory as perceived in original Islamic texts. Primarily, the study focuses on holistic and theoretical view of political Islam. The study also aims to analyze the basic theory and current strategies of Islamic political movements which may be considered the vanguard of Islamic revolution.
