<BR></STRONG><BR>The start of accession talks between Turkey and the European
Union presents an important challenge for Europe and the Muslim world. Although
Turkey has often been cited as a model for the accommodation of Islam and
secularism, Islam is still a profound factor in Turkish politics. <BR><BR>This
book explores the conditions under which an Islamic movement or party ceases to
be Islamic. The Emergence of a New Turkey explains the social, economic, and
historical origins of the ruling Justice and Development Party, which evolved
from Turkey's half-century-old Islamic National Outlook movement. It focuses on
the interplay between internal and external forces in the transformation of
political Islam into a conservative democratic party. The book also discusses
the effect of neoliberal economic policies in Turkey, offering keen insight into
one of the most successful transformations of an Islamic movement in the Muslim
world.<BR><BR>Utah Series in Turkish and Islamic Studies<BR>M. HAKAN YAVUZ is
