Abstract

This chapter analyzes the political context, creation, structures, and ideas of the predecessors of Tunisia’s Ennahda and Algeria’s HMS, namely JI/ MTI and JM. It finds that whereas both JI/MTI and JM adopted the Muslim Brotherhood model, the two groups differed considerably in two aspects. First, while JI/MTI was the only Islamist group in Tunisia that showed interest in institutionalized participation, JM focused more on adopting the gradualist method at its inception. Second, unlike the JI/MTI and its later incarnation, Ennahda, which remained an opposition force, Nahnah’s group was characterized by its pragmatism and its willingness to compromise with the regime.
