"On July 15, 2016, a faction of the Turkish military tried to overthrow the government of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. The attempt failed. The Turkish government blamed the attempted coup on Gülenists, followers of an Islamist movement led by Fethullah Gülen, who had helped Erdoğan and his AK Party get elected and bring an ostensibly 'soft' version of Islam into the secular Turkish government. In alliance with the AK Party, Gülenists over time became widely represented in various government institutions, including the military and police. This volume focuses on the Gülen Movement and its possible role in the failed coup, providing historical and sociopolitical context for what may have led to this conflict. Editors Yavuz and Balcı were among the first to study the movement from its beginning. They and other contributors have spent time in Turkey, Central Asia, and the Balkans examining various dimensions of Gülenist activity as the movement became a major economic and educational force in Turkey and elsewhere. Startled by the 2016 coup attempt, a group of scholars who had studied the Gülenists came together to discuss how and why the once-restrained movement became belligerent opponents of Erdoğan's government. This book is a product of their exchanges and it addresses questions such as: what did researchers fail to see in their earlier studies and how will this major disruption in Turkey affect the future of the movement?"--Provided by publisher.

The Gulen, or Hizmet, movement in Turkey is the country's most powerful and affluent religious organisation. Its central tenet, advanced by its founder, the charismatic Sunni preacher Fethullah Gulen (b. 1941), is that Muslims should engage positively with modernity. A prime means of advancing this philosophy has been education: at hundreds of Gulen-run schools and universities, not only in Turkey but also worldwide, instructors aim to cultivate the next generation of Muslim bankers, biologists, software engineers and politicians. But how does the Gulen movement resolve the sometimes conflicting positions of Sunni Islam and contemporary science for example, on evolutionary theory? Drawing on sustained ethnographic research conducted among Gulen communities in Turkey, Caroline Tee analyses their complex attitudes towards secular modernity. She focuses on education, science research and industry to explore how pious Muslim practitioners engage in science at high levels, arguing that the Gulen movement's success in this critical area of modernity has facilitated its rise to prominence in recent decades. Considered against the backdrop of Turkish politics, and particularly the acrimonious power-struggle between the Gulen movement and its erstwhile ally, Turkey's ruling AK Party, Gulenist engagement with modern science is revealed as a key source of its influence and success.

The "Hizmet" ("Service")Movement of Fethullah Gülen is Turkey’s most influential Islamic identitycommunity. Widely praised throughout the early 2000s as a mild and moderatevariation on Islamic political identity, the Gülen Movement has long been atopic of both adulation and conspiracy in Turkey. In Gülen, Joshua D. Hendrick suggests that the Gülen Movement shouldbe given credit for playing a significant role in Turkey's rise to globalprominence.Hendrick draws on 14 months of ethnographic fieldworkin Turkey and the U.S. for his study. He argues that the movement’s growth andimpact both inside and outside Turkey position both its leader and itsfollowers as indicative of a "post political" turn in twenty-firstcentury Islamic political identity in general, and as illustrative of Turkey’spolitical, economic, and cultural transformation in particular.

À l’heure où la Turquie frappe aux portes de l’Union Européenne, elle développe en parallèle une stratégie d’influence dans les républiques turcophones de l’ex-URSS, où sa présence économique et culturelle se renforce depuis le début des années 90. Cette présence turque en Asie centrale est largement l’œuvre d’une puissante organisation religieuse, dirigée par l’énigmatique Fethullah Gülen, longtemps prêcheur officiel au service de l’État turc et actuellement en exil volontaire aux États-Unis. Charismatique et visionnaire, Gülen a choisi l’éducation comme vecteur de son expansion. Aujourd’hui, son mouvement est présent dans toutes les républiques d’Asie centrale : Ouzbékistan, Kazakhstan, Kirghizistan, Turkménistan et Tadjikistan où ses disciples animent un vaste réseau d’écoles privées. À long terme, ces « jésuites de l’islam turc » projettent de former les nouvelles élites centre-asiatiques qui réislamiseront les populations locales, longtemps soumises à la propagande athée soviétique. Cette entreprise a su se concilier l’appui tacite des gouvernement locaux et des puissances extérieures – Turquie et États-Unis notamment – qui craignent l’implantation d’éléments islamistes plus radicaux, d’obédience saoudienne. L'ouvrage a été traduit en turc sous le titre Orta Asya'da İslâm misyonerleri. Fethullah Gülen okulları aux éditions Iletişim.
