Trust and the Islamic Advantage - Religious-Based Movements in Turkey and the Muslim World (Hardcover)

In much of the Muslim world, Islamic political and economic
movements appear to have a comparative advantage. Relative to
similar secular groups, they are better able to mobilize supporters
and sustain their cooperation long-term. Nowhere is this more
apparent than in Turkey, a historically secular country that has
experienced a sharp rise in Islamic-based political and economic
activity. Drawing on rich data sources and econometric methods,
Avital Livny challenges existing explanations - such as personal
faith - for the success of these movements. Instead, Livny shows
that the Islamic advantage is rooted in feelings of trust among
individuals with a shared, religious group-identity. This
group-based trust serves as an effective substitute for more
generalized feelings of interpersonal trust, which are largely
absent in many Muslim-plurality countries. The book presents a new
argument for conceptualizing religion as both a personal belief
system and collective identity.
