Ankara has projected onto the area with an undisguised appetite, becoming again a few years, economic power, cultural and political dominance, spreading his television series as well as his worldview. According to this study, the three forces of the Turkish model is in order, "his Muslim tradition," "vibrant economy" and "its democratic government." The Kemalist secular model, built around its army, which has influenced autocratic Middle Eastern regimes, has become obsolete.
The prospect of an Islamic state as well. The model is stamped Turkey AKP (Justice and Development), which was imposed in a decade as a stable, able to combine the aspirations of conservative voters with democracy and market economy. Pragmatic, Erdogan spent more energy to liberalize the economy and the Islamization of Turkish society.
In eight years, the gross domestic product (GDP) per capita has more than tripled to 11,000 dollars (8,180 euros). In Egypt, it is the same as twenty years ago. From Rabat to Amman, it is now fashionable among Islamist movements, to refer to the AKP. "Many Islamists see it as a model for integrating the democratic system and become political actors," Jonathan Levack analysis, project manager TESEV.
The ruling Justice and Development Moroccan takes its symbol, a light bulb, by adopting the oil lamp. Iraq and Syria, movements inspired by the Turkish model. In Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood, though divided, are attracted by its aura. The AKP, a model? "It's too ambitious, perhaps anexample" has adjusted the Turkish president, Abdullah Gul.
Mr. Erdogan, himself, sees Turkey as "North Star Middle East." But for the Turkish court takes, he should know that the Arab world a political path similar to that of Turkey, passed in thirty years of bloody military dictatorship to a democracy, imperfect, but securely anchored. Emanation of political Islam, the AKP was founded in 2002 on the pattern of German Christian Democracy.
Its roots are in classical Islam, one of the Milli Gorus ("National Vision"), the doctrine of Necmettin Erbakan. But the Turkish Islamism has participated in several coalition governments since 1974. And the model would not be one without the secular legacy and the pro-Western republic, founded in 1923 by Atatürk, a framework in which the youngest family Islamist bent.
This pragmatism characteristic of the AKP, which should allow it to be returned to power in June. The delicate balance between Islamic values and pointedly asserted political opportunism at every moment has forged the success of Mr Erdogan. Although NATO member and ally of Israel, Turkey has gained popularity through his diatribes against Tel Aviv.
But what deceived, but also the image of a modern and open to the West, attentive to women's rights and individual freedoms. To become the "star" of the Arab world, Erdogan will have to avoid falling into the trap of authoritarianism and hyper-powers. perrier @ bbc. en Article published in the edition of 16.02.11
