C&C member H. Zeynep Bulutgil, Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science, has won the 2023 Book Award of the Religion and International Relations Section of the International Studies Association (ISA).
Her book the The Origins of Secular Institutions: Ideas, Timing, and Organization (Oxford University Press) makes major contributions to the literatures on religion and politics as well as modern state formation. In the book, she develops an original theory that links the early dissemination of Enlightenment ideas and organizational timing to the emergence of secular institutions. She then supports these arguments by combining statistical analysis of original historical data with comparative historical analysis of countries in Europe (France, Spain, The United Kingdom) and the Middle East/North Africa (Turkey, Morocco, and Tunisia).
