Book Synopsis Secularism and Muslim Democracy in Turkey by : M. Hakan Yavuz
Book excerpt: The Islamist Justice and Development Party swept to power in Turkey in 2002. Since then it has shied away from a hard-line ideological stance in favour of a more conservative and democratic approach. This book asks whether it is possible for a political party with deeply religious ideology to liberalise and entertain democracy?
