In recent years there has been an upsurge of interest in Turkey's ability to create a secular, constitutional democracy within a predominantly Muslim population. Remaking Turkey provides a comprehensive and detailed account of how Turkey has achieved the possibility of modernity and democracy in a Muslim social setting as well as the important problems and challenges confronting this achievement. Turkey has demonstrated that as an alternative modernity and as a significant historical experience of the co-existence between Islam and democratic modernity in a secular political structure it could make an important contribution to the most needed democratic global governance for the creation of a secure, just and peaceful world. Remaking Turkey starts its investigation with an analysis of the Ottoman legacy, then focuses on identity-based conflicts and civil, economic, and global processes, all of which have brought about significant challenges to modernity and democracy in Turkey. The book concludes with an account of the recent changes and transformations that have given rise to the process of "remaking Turkey." In this way, editor E. Fuat Keyman presents a political theory-based approach to Turkish modernity and its recent changing formation, creating an original study of contemporary Turkey.
Industry Reviews
E. Fuat Keyman's brilliantly edited and invaluable volume surveys the main issues currently challenging Turkey. This book is indispensable for anyone seeking to grasp this fascinating moment in Turkey's development when the future of the country hangs in the balance and its political life is caught between dangerous tensions and exciting emancipatory opportunities. -- Richard Falk, Albert G. Milbank Professor of International Law Emeritus, Princeton University
This book is relevant not only for those interested in the experience of Turkey but also for readers seeking an engagement between rich empirical evidence and political theory. * International Journal of Turkish Studies *
