In the 1920s and the 1930s, Turkey, Iran and Russia vehemently
pursued state-secularizing reforms, but adopted different
strategies in doing so. But why do states follow different
secularizing strategies? The literature has already shattered the
illusion that secularization of the state has been a unilinear,
homogeneous and universal process, and has convincingly shown that
secularization of the state has unfolded along different paths.
Much, however, remains to be uncovered. This book provides an
in-depth comparative historical analysis of state secularization in
three major Eurasian countries: Turkey, Iran and Russia. To capture
the aforementioned variation in state secularization across three
countries that have been hitherto analyzed as separate studies,
Birol Baskan adopts three modes of state secularization:
accommodationism, separationism and eradicationism. Focusing
thematically on the changing relations between the state and
religious institutions, Baskan brings together a host of factors,
historical, strategic and structural, to account for why Turkey
adopted accommodationism, Iran separationism and Russia
eradicationism. In doing so, he expertly demonstrates that each
secularization strategy was a rational response to the strategic
context the reformers found themselves in.

In this book, Birol Baskan explains the variation in attitudes and
approaches towards the Muslim Brotherhood across 5 Gulf States:
Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
He argues that this disparity is at the root of the ongoing Gulf
crisis that erupted in June 2017.
This book narrates how Turkey and Qatar have come to forge a
mutually special relationship. The book argues that throughout the
2000s Turkey and Qatar had pursued similar foreign policies and
aligned their positions on many critical and controversial issues.
By doing so, however, they increasingly isolated themselves in the
Middle East as states challenging the status quo. The claim made
here is that it is this isolation-which became acute in the summer
of 2013-that led the two countries to forge much stronger
relations.
