The Muslim Brotherhood in International Relations: Roles and Outcomes

In this book published by TRENDS Research & Advisory (Abu Dhabi, May 2026), Wael Saleh, a member of Pluriel‘s coordination committee, examines the place and modes of action of the Muslim Brotherhood in international relations. The study identifies the roles the Brotherhood takes on as a transnational actor, along with the effects of its strategies on regional and global balances.

Drawing on political sociology, network analysis and the study of ideological production, Saleh gauges the organisation’s recent evolution. The book maps the Brotherhood as a diplomatic, media and religious actor, distinguishing between national, regional and international levels of engagement.

Wael Saleh took part in the 2026 Pluriel Congress in Cordoba.

Dans cet ouvrage publié par TRENDS Research & Advisory (Abou Dhabi, mai 2026), Wael Saleh, membre du comité de coordination de Pluriel, analyse la place et les modes d’action des Frères musulmans dans les relations internationales. L’enquête identifie les rôles assumés par la confrérie comme acteur transnational, ainsi que les effets produits par ses stratégies sur les équilibres régionaux et globaux.

Saleh combine sociologie politique, analyse des réseaux et étude des productions idéologiques pour mesurer les évolutions récentes de l’organisation. L’ouvrage propose une cartographie de la confrérie comme acteur diplomatique, médiatique et religieux, en distinguant les niveaux national, régional et international d’engagement.

في هذا الكتاب الصادر عن مؤسسة تريندز للبحوث والاستشارات (أبو ظبي، أيار/مايو 2026)، يحلّل وائل صالح، عضو لجنة التنسيق في « المنصة الجامعية للدراسات حول الإسلام »، مكانة جماعة الإخوان المسلمين وأنماط فعلها في العلاقات الدولية. ويحدّد البحث الأدوار التي تضطلع بها الجماعة بوصفها فاعلًا عابرًا للحدود، إضافةً إلى آثار استراتيجياتها في التوازنات الإقليمية والعالمية.

يجمع صالح بين علم الاجتماع السياسي وتحليل الشبكات ودراسة الإنتاج الأيديولوجي ليقيس التحوّلات الأخيرة في المنظمة. ويرسم الكتاب خريطة للجماعة بوصفها فاعلًا دبلوماسيًا وإعلاميًا ودينيًا، مميّزًا بين مستويات الانخراط الوطنية والإقليمية والدولية.

شارك وائل صالح في مؤتمر « المنصة » في قرطبة عام 2026.
