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 deep sense of trust among individuals with a shared religious group identity. This group-based trust serves as a powerful 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 412g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 152 x 227 x 21 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781108707237\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: New ed\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AvitalLivny","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44095099240698,"sku":"9781108707237","price":24.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1650027175644_book.jpg?v=1650272312","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/trust-and-the-islamic-advantage-religiousbased-movements-in-turkey-and-the-muslim-world-9781108707237","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
