  • More about Trust and the Islamic Advantage: Religious-Based Movements in Turkey and the Muslim World

Islamic political and economic movements have a comparative advantage in the Muslim world due to feelings of trust among individuals with a shared religious group-identity, which serves as an effective substitute for more generalized feelings of interpersonal trust. This group-based trust is rooted in a shared religious identity.

Islamic political and economic movements hold a distinct comparative advantage in much of the Muslim world. When compared to similar secular groups, they exhibit greater prowess in mobilizing supporters and maintaining long-term cooperation. This phenomenon is particularly evident in Turkey, a historically secular country that has witnessed a significant surge in Islamic-based political and economic activity. Avital Livny, in her groundbreaking book, challenges prevailing explanations for the success of these movements, such as personal faith, and presents a novel perspective. Through extensive data analysis and econometric methods, Livny demonstrates that the Islamic advantage stems from a profound sense of trust among individuals with a shared religious group identity. This group-based trust serves as an effective substitute for more generalized feelings of interpersonal trust, which are often lacking in Muslim-plurality countries. The book offers a fresh argument for conceptualizing religion as both a personal belief system and a collective identity, contributing to a deeper understanding of the dynamics driving Islamic political and economic movements in the Muslim world.
