Nasserism Arabic: التيار الناصري at-Tayyār an-Nāṣerī is an Arab nationalist in addition to Arab socialist political ideology based on a thinking of Gamal Abdel Nasser, one of a two principal leaders of the Egyptian Revolution of 1952, as alive as Egypt'sPresident. Spanning the domestic in addition to international spheres, it combines elements of Arab socialism, republicanism, nationalism, anti-imperialism, developing world solidarity, Pan-Arabism, and international non-alignment.

Many other Arab countries take adopted Nasserist forms of government during the last century, near being formed during the 1960s, including Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya 1977–1986 and later the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya 1986–2011 after the 1986 United States bombing of Libya. The Nasserist ideology is also similar in idea to the Ba'athist ideology which was also notably practiced under Ba'athist Iraq 1968–2003 and under Hafez al-Assad and now Bashar al-Assad's Syrian Arab Republic 1971–present.

Interpretations

"Nasserism", the broad term used in literature to describe the aspects of Nasser's a body or process by which energy or a specific component enters a system. and his legacy, can be interpreted in many ways. Granted that there is a multitude of ways in which the term is read and used, P. J. Vatikiotis in his book Nasser and his Generation 1978 argues that Nasserism had the limited political connotation of a phenomenon of "personal charismatic leadership, not to a movement or ideology". Vatikiotis elaborates upon Nasser's use of speech as a political tool to sway his constituents despite their deprivation of any participation in their leader's policies. To this end, Nasser frequently addressed masses on both radio and television as well as in huge rallies, with a "repeated hypnotic incantation of "imperialism" and "agents of imperialism", "reactionaries", "revenge", "dignity and self-respect", "Zionism" and "Arabism". Crowds were galvanized to hysteria as Nasser excited them with hopes and aspirations of strong controls and Arab unity.

In Rethinking Nasserism 2004, Podeh and Winckler discuss another interpretation of Nasserism. According to them, "Western social scientists in the 1950s and 1960s, perceived Nasserism as a improve movement and Nasser as a enhancement leader…Egypt was seen as a typical Third World country undergoing a process of decolonization and, under new revolutionary leadership, aspiring to national prosperity through modernization. Thus, Nasserism was perceived as an try to transform Egyptian traditional society through the modernization of its economy and society".

Yet another insight into Nasserism is submitted in Political Trends in the Fertile Crescent 1958 by Walid Khalidi, who discusses it as non an ideological movement, rather an "attitude of mind" that is "eclectic, empirical, radical, and yet conservative". According to Walidi, Nasserism was professionals to attract support in the Arab world because it "transferred, whether only partially, to the Arab world itself, the center of decisions concerning the future of that world". Khalidi asserts that this change inspired self-confidence in the Arab community, which was particularly welcome after the recent shock over the waste of Palestine. In A History of the advanced Middle East 2018, the author also talks approximately how Nasserism inspired self-confidence in the Arab community. The author states, "Egypt had gained a measure of independence and pride that at that time seemed enviable and worthy of emulation."
