١ Articulation is a contingent combination of interests and sectors that nevertheless has long-lasting effects, especially in the way it recasts the combined interests and sectors. For a fuller discussion, see Cedric de Leon, Manali Desai and Cihan T uğal, Building Blocs: How Parties Organize Society, Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2015.
٢ Hence, the classical question what is the class basis of x movement, policy, regime, etc.should beappended by another question: what bloc can sustain it? Blocs, more than classes, can be taken as the (decentred) subjects of history. T his definition draws on, but revises, Nikos Poulantzass definition; see Fascism and Dictatorship, London: New Left Books, 1974 [1970], 72; and Classes in Contemporary Capitalism, London: New Left Books, 1975 [1974], 24.
٣ Such centrality of religion in national identity is not restricted to Islamic contexts. Varieties of Christianity have been central in the formation of secular nationalisms in America, Poland, etc.
۴ Differences between the more locally and internationally oriented bourgeois fractions, however, should not be exaggerated. T he proto-liberal bourgeoisie also benefited hugely from import-substitution, which persisted even in the 1950s, though in loosened and unplanned fashion.

۶٣ T he AKP government, self-confident due to the credibility it gained as a result of its pursuit of free market policies, loosened its ties with the IMF in the 2010s.
۶۴ While Kandil provides one of the best accounts of this process, his insistence on calling the Egyptian bourgeoisie (including the richest families of the country) a middle class sector takes away from the analysis. A critical distinction between the bourgeoisie and the new petty bourgeoisie deals with the nalytical problems this institutionalist baggage (which takes the ruling class as the upper class) creates. Furthermore, the dominant class has to be differentiated from the ruling class.

٧٠ I reserve the term sociopolitical organization for groupings that have broad (shared and contested) political, social and economic visions, but are not as institutionalized as parties.
٧١ One of the most prominent of these, the Freedom Movement of Iran, for instance, was not even comparable to the T urkish National Salvation Party/Welfare Party or the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood in terms of the scope and depth of its organization.

١٣١ T he almost obsessive anti-socialism of the movement comes forth much more clearly in the French version of Burgats interview with Enneifer, one of the founders and primary leaders (Franois Burgat, LIslamisme au Maghreb: La voix du sud, Paris: Karthala, 1988, 208۹). For more on the regime-al-Nahda cooperation against Marxism at the end of the 1970s and the early 1980s, as well as the fluctuating repression and persecution faced by the Islamists, with 1981 as the apex, see Burgat LIslamisme au Maghreb, 214۱۶, ۲۱۸۲۰٫

١٣۴ See Mabrouk, T unisia: T he Radicalization of Religious Policy, ۶۳, on the scientific Salafis, though his comments need to be taken with a grain of salt due to his partisanship on behalf of al-Nahda and against other Islamist groups
