Islam and Society in Turkey

The place of Islam in Turkish secular democracy has long been seen as a crucial issue, both academically, and for Turkey's future relationship with Europe. The author argues that there is a fine balance between diverse groups that have accepted Atatrk's secularism (like the Alevis, the democratic left, consumer-orientated youth and pious, but moderate, believers) and those who think that the secular state has not gone far enough (like the former Welfare Party and the followers of Said-I Nursi). It is shown that the way Turkey is incorporated into the European Union and other international institutions will profoundly influence this crucially important conflict within Turkey. An original interpretation based on extensive field research in Turkey, with many new and valuable insights. Important for all students of Turkey, as well as for social anthropologists.

Within a few years the Greek Cypriot part of the island may well be admitted to membership of the European Union without the Turkish Cypriot North. The South is recognized by all states save Turkey as the Republic of Cyprus. The resulting estrangement of Turkey from Europe could be in prospect with serious implications for Turkey's role in a less than stable part of the world whose oil resources are of universal importance.
