Ceren Lord

Religious Politics in Turkey

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The AKP period in Turkey has often been understood as a break from the 'secular' pattern of state-building. Ceren Lord challenges this by showing how Islamist mobilisation in Turkey has been facilitated by state institutions established during early nation-building, offering a new perspective on the politicisation of religion.
