The crisis of Islamism and its implications for the stability of the Persian Gulf (DIEEEO80-2017)

The current crisis in the Persian Gulf is a geopolitical struggle between Saudi Arabia, Iran and the Qatar-Turkey duo, but on another to three different ways of facing the current Islamist crisis. On the one hand, it would be the choice of Turkey and Qatar that they would understand that the answer must be a neo-Islam assuming part of the postulates of the Muslim Brothers. On the other hand, it would be the conservative option of Saudi Arabia that, betting on Wahhabism, would try to introduce the smallest possible changes. Third and last, the Iranian offer, a post-Islamism whose main contribution would be that of a division between the terrestrial and divine sphere.
