University of California Press, , — Cambridge University Press, , 23— Many of its leaders, including Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, were disciples of the veteran Islamist politician, Necmettin Erbakan, and worked as activists in several political parties that he formed over the years. The growth of the Islamist political movement in Turkey and the JDP's meteoric rise to power continues to arouse scholarly interest.

    Banu Eligur's The Mobilization of Political Islam in Turkey is the latest addition to the proliferation of books and articles that have been published in recent years. Although it covers some familiar ground, Eligur's book offers important new analysis based on a careful reading of the available sources as well as interviews with individuals who have been active in the Islamist political parties.

    Some of the previous studies have sought to explain the emergence and growth of political Islam in Turkey as a mass reaction to the radical secularist policies which were implemented during the formative years of the Republic. Eligur believes that this is not an adequate explanation since it fails to account for the absence of popular protest against the secularist policies of the authoritarian one-party regime or the fact that the mobilization of political Islam took place in full force nearly five decades after the transition to multi-party politics in the late s.

    She also discounts the notion that the Islamist movement in Turkey emerged as a reaction against Western colonial and cultural domination — as it has been the case in many parts of the Arab world — since Turkey was never under colonial rule and "the Turkish Revolution's goal was achieving secularism for the sake of preventing any future Western domination" p. Drawing on social movement theory, Eligur proposes instead that the political mobilization of Islam in Turkey can be best understood in terms specific political events and processes, particularly the availability of political opportunity structures, the establishment of a strong organization, and the creation of a viable political rhetoric.

    According to the author, during the first phase of the mobilization process , Islamist political activists benefited from the opportunity structures created [End Page ] by the military regime following the coup and the governments formed by the Motherland Party MP, or Anavatan Partisi during the s. As part of its strategy to counter leftist radicalism, which had figured prominently in the politically turbulent late s, the military regime introduced mandatory religion courses in the schools and promoted Turkish-Islamic Synthesis TIS — Turk-Islam Sentezi , which combined Sunni Islam and Turkish nationalism, as state ideology.
