Arab Nationalism Versus Islamic Fundamentalism as a Unifying Factor in the Middle East

Thesis advisor: Kathleen Bailey / Arab Nationalism rose to prominence in the Middle East region following the establishment of the mandate states after World War II. The ideology attempted to unite the area and to propel the Arabs forward. The collapse of Arab Nationalism left many in the region questioning the very basics of their culture. Islam became the answer for the failure of Arab Nationalism because it offered the Arabs a genuine ideology, unlike Arab Nationalism which was imported from European ideas. / Thesis (BA) — Boston College, 2007. / Submitted to: Boston College.
