Fattah is a leading analyst in Middle Eastern politics and Islamic studies. His research focuses on the relationship between Islam, democracy and democratization, as well as the difference in economic philosophy between Islamic and Western countries. His book, "Democratic Values in Muslim World," was deemed one of the best academic publications in 2006 and has been widely adopted by professors and universities throughout the world.
A former professor described Fattah as "a very promising young scholar who combines intellectual curiosity with a thirst for proper method and analysis," and another wrote, "Dr. Fattah takes his research very seriously and knows how to courageously and scientifically tackle the thorny questions of Middle Eastern politics. He will be among the best, if not the best, Arab political scientist of his generation." |
