Recenzje

'Religious parties are often studied on a case-by case basis even though they arise in many different societies and various faith traditions. By viewing them comparatively, Yildirim uncovers how their relationship with two other actors-formal religious authorities and the broad social movements that spawn them-shape their political trajectory.' Nathan Brown, Professor of Political Science and International Affairs, George Washington University
