Unger, Survival: Global Politics and Strategy '... rich with ideas and detail ...' John Waterbury, Foreign Affairs '... Religious Politics in Turkey enables the reader not only to overcome the superficial struggle between authoritarian laicism deriving from state elites and conservative sensitiveness stemming from society, but also to provide a multidimensional framework to comprehend state-religion relations in Turkey.' Mehmet Ertan, New Perspectives on Turkey 'Religious Politics in Turkey is a meticulously argued and empirically rich case study ... Its general analytical framework makes the book highly relevant to students of nationalism, democratization, and social movements as well as students of religion and politics.' Yesim Bayar, Political Studies Review '... emerges as a new piece of research, claiming to discuss a new dimension of this intricacy, beyond the classic readings of religion, law, and politics in Turkey ... Lord's book stands out as a fine study of Turkish politics, Turkish religiosity, and Turkish secularism and is a work at which everyone concerned with these issues should at least take a look.' Ahmet Erdi Ozturk, Journal of Law and Religion
