Reviews

'In this unusual work, which combines normative political theory with empirical opinion research and deliberative discourse analysis, Bora Kanra analyzes the major political divisions in Turkish society and comes to a surprising conclusion: on important issues such as human rights and the limits of state power, a strong convergence exists between the democratic new left and sectors of the Islamist movement in Turkey. Kanra argues that deliberative processes can help build convergences during the opinion formation stage in complex and strongly divided societies. A truly successful integration of empirical and theoretical research by a rising scholar of political theory.' Seyla Benhabib, Yale University, USA '...I see this as an exceedingly valuable contribution that makes a number of highly intriguing observations. I would hope that both politicians and journalists in Turkey will read it as it does make strides in finding agreement between groups one normally would not expect to agree. In addition, stupents of political science or Middle Eastern and/or Ottoman/Turkish history will find this text to be quite valuable.' Digest of Middle East Studies
