Om denne bog
The political trial of Fethullah Gülen, a moderate Turkish religious leader, helped to greatly expand civil liberties and strengthen democracy in Turkey. The trial began in 2000 in an Ankara state security court (now disbanded) and ended in 2008 in an appeals court in Gülen''s favor. This book explores Gülen''s trial, examines the evolving process of Turkey''s efforts to enter the European Union, and discusses ways that the EU''s insistence on expanding civil liberties in Turkey and reforming the judicial system affected the outcome of the trial (and vice versa). As a coda, the book considers unsuccessful efforts to block Gülen''s application for immigrant status in the United States as a religious scholar, which occurred during the same time as his political trial in Turkey.
