reception

The work The Struggle for Civil Society in Turkey found positive book reviews. Ayse Esra Dursun ( University of Vienna ) judged : “In summary, the work makes an excellent contribution to a more recent reading of the state-civil society relationship in Turkey, which uses hegemonic approaches to break the dichotomy of repressive state vs. of democratic civil society. "

The political scientist Matthias Lemke closes his review by saying that “... the concept of civil society is experiencing an exciting functional or instrumental reinterpretation”. Al-Rebholz interprets it as a “weakening of state institutions against neoliberal economization” instead of the expression of a strong democracy, which in turn implies “that Turkish civil society is either not genuine or has been instrumentalized by a third party”. Al-Rebholz demonstrates the explosiveness of this phrase in an impressive manner, also theoretically justified, "that a further discussion based on your book is absolutely necessary."

The book could become a valuable source of knowledge about Turkish society, says Ingo Arend in his review for the TAZ . Anıl Al-Rebholz combined theory and empiricism: for example, she let "review the development of intellectuals from the Ottoman Empire to the Turkish Republic" and trace the attempts to "instrumentalize Islam as" cultural cement "of Turkish society".
