Since the 1980s, religious parties have enjoyed electoral success in a range of countries, raising questions about why religious movements have prospered despite previous predictions of secularization and how these movements will affect world politics in general. In this study, Sultan Tepe compares the unique—yet surprisingly similar—cases of Israel and Turkey to explore the ideological bases of religious parties and the reasons for their popular appeal. Beyond comparing the two countries, she also raises important questions about the implications that religious parties have on liberalism and democracy.
