This book explores state-religion relations under a populist
authoritarian ruling party in Turkey. In doing so, it investigates
how the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) instrumentalizes
state-controlled religion to further, defend, legitimatize and
propagate its authoritarian populist political agenda in a
constitutionally secular nation-state. To exemplify this, the
authors examine the Friday sermons delivered weekly in every mosque
in Turkey by the Turkish State's Directorate of Religious Affairs
(Diyanet). By analyzing all sermons delivered between 2010-2021,
the book shows how the Diyanet has enthusiastically adopted AKP's
increasingly Islamist, authoritarian, civilisationist, militarist
and pro-violence populism since 2010, and how it has tried to
socially engineer beliefs in line with this ideology.
This open access book presents (selected) new and innovative
developments for sustainable and fish-friendly hydropower. It
offers unique insights into the challenges, practices and policies
of hydropower developments across 8 European countries, providing
examples from on-site studies and European-wide analyses. The case
studies throughout the book are practical "real-world" examples,
which are intended to serve as inspiration for anyone who would
like to know more about how solutions for more sustainable
hydropower production can be designed and implemented. Hydropower
is an important renewable energy source, which, however, can also
impact aquatic ecosystems, fish populations and hydro-morphology.
EU and national water, environmental and energy legislation strive
for sustainable energy and water resource management as well as the
protection of important habitats and species. These have an effect
on the requirements and decision making processes for hydropower
planning, commissioning and operation. With a high variety of
measures existing and site-specific conditions as well as national
and EU level legal requirements to consider, it can be difficult to
determine, what issues to address and which measures to implement.

Although a number of conferences have been organised in recent
years emphasising the social, civic and educational activities of
the Gulen Movement, as well as Gulen's contribution to
inter-religious dialogue, very little attention has been paid to
his formal and informal education, his scholarly works and his
interpretation of basic Islamic sources and disciplines in the
modern period. In fact, his expertise goes beyond the limitations
of modern academic compartmentalisation of Islamic studies. Gulen's
analyses have social, psychological, cultural and philosophical
dimensions that differentiate his Qur'anic exegesis from that of
his many classical counterparts. This edited book aims to explore
Gulen's personal and theological profile in relation to Qur'anic
exegesis (tafsir), Prophetic tradition (hadith), Islamic law
(fiqh), Islamic systematic theology (kalam), Sufism (tasawwuf), and
Muslim heresiography (al-milal wa al-nihal or firaq literatures).
