The Influence of Islam in Turkey.

Abstract

This thesis explores the influence of Islam in Turkey today. Dealing primarily with Republican Turkey, the influence of Islam is traced through the development of the various Turkish constitutions, through a brief study of the political elite structure, and finally by looking at the individual Turk. Although Islam is being seen as slowly being eroded by 'secularization-by-modernization,' it is still seen as a very strong, if subtle, force in the Turkish social fabric. (Author)
