Islamist Politics have been cast as a geopolitical threat to 'the West', as antisystemic movements, and as part of the cacophony of post-modern identity politics. This article takes a critical approach to the geopolitics of Islamism and the representational practices that have defined religio-politics in relation to these various analytical categories. I argue that Islamist movements cannot be fruitfully analysed as primarily oppositional mobilisations. Such movements are not antisystemic as this term is usually understood, although they do pose a challenge to secularist categories. Furthermore, the scripting of social and new social movements works to close down spaces for religious politics, despite the apparent openings created by the post-modern turn. Finally, I argue that the ways in which knowledge about Islamist politics has been constructed reflects the historical institutionalisation of secularist power in the post-Enlightenment era. Through this discussion, my aim is to point towards an approach to Islamist politics that draws on the insights of critical geopolitics. |
