Political Islam in Turkey: Running West, Heading East?

by Gareth Jenkins and G. Jenkins

Book Overview

Turkey is often cited as a model for Muslim countries; its pro-western democracy an example that the clash of civilizations is not inevitable. Yet the process of political and economic liberalization has increased the appeal of political Islam. Jenkins analyses the re-emergence of Islam as a political force in Turkey and examines the repercussions.
