Uncover the complex interplay of religion and state-building in the former Ottoman world. This insightful study traces how state-builders navigated religious institutions, elites, and attachments across the Middle East and Balkans. Understand the divergent paths of sovereignty, from nations where religious reform was integral to state centralization, to broader structural constraints. Discover how policies promoting equality through religious difference, or eradicating it, critically shaped liberal democratic consolidation. Essential for students and scholars of political science, history, and comparative governance seeking insights into enduring state-religion dynamics.
