Islamism
A broad family of movements that seek to organize politics and law around Islam, from electoral parties to militant groups.
Associated with: Turkey's AKP, the Muslim Brotherhood, Iran's 1979 revolution.
Islamism sits in the left-authoritarian part of the Caucus economy and liberty compass: slightly state-led and strongly authoritarian. The clearest positions are strongly traditional on culture, strongly authoritarian on liberty and authority and leaning nationalist on nation.
