Since then it has shied away from a hard-line ideological stance in favour of a more conservative and democratic approach. In this book, M. Hakan Yavuz negotiates this ambivalence asking whether it is possible for a political party with a deeply religious ideology to liberalise and entertain democracy or whether, as he contends, radical religious groups moderate their practices and ideologies when forced to negotiate a competitive and rule-based political system. The author explores the thesis through an analysis of the rise and evolution of the AKP and its more recent 2007 election victory. The book, which tackles a number of important issues including political participation, economics and internal security, provides a masterful survey of modern Turkish and Islamic politics, which will be of interest to a broad range of readers from students to professionals and policymakers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51944701460768,"sku":"NEW0521888786","price":164.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/secularism-and-muslim-democracy-in-turkey-cambridge-middle-east-studies-series-number-28-0521888786","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
