dc.description.abstractThe paper advocates for social pluralism that includes religious non-state actors. The Turkish case illustrates complex mechanisms through which religious non-state actors affect human security in politics and in social relations. While advancing some religious and other freedoms, Islamic actors often promote values that undermine freedoms that are granted in advanced democracies– such as gender equality, sexual liberalization, and the role of religious authorities. Policies aimed at improving human security should include legal and political measures to prevent polarization, with platforms for public exchange and deliberation where religious and secular people can try to reconcile their different values.en
