Produktbeschreibung
This book examines and discusses the strategic manoeuvring of the Gülen Movement, which is an influential religio-social movement in Turkey, in its power struggle with its rival groups and ideologies including the secular elite; through an analysis of internal and external dynamics behind its increasing prominence. The book claims that the Gülen Movement, through its educational activities, creates a reciprocal deal where both parties profit.
