Turkey, Islamists and Democracy - Transition and Globalization in a Muslim State

Klappentext This book examines Islam's engagement with the reorganization of the global economy. By examining the incorporation of Islam into the existing relations of the Turkish state from the late Ottoman Empire to the present day! the author demonstrates how political Islam interacts with the global restructuring of classes! states and political actors. Atasoy challenges the view of Islamist politics as an anti-Modern! anti-Western force that is fundamentally opposed to the global economy and instead argues that political Islam is cosmopolitan and embedded in processes which incorporate Western modernity into local cultural practices.
