Islamic Bureaucracies and Pious Publics in Turkey and Indonesia

该项目旨在调查土耳其和印度尼西亚这两个穆斯林占多数的大国对伊斯兰习俗的支持。在这些国家，资金雄厚的官僚机构将国家资源分配给虔诚的做法，直到最近，这些做法还被认为不符合国家利益。这个项目结合了伊斯兰教人类学家和公共经济学家的技能，将询问哪些穆斯林行为者和做法获得了这些预算拨款，而哪些则被拒绝了。该项目的一个成果将是确定穆斯林和政府之间的这些契约在治理中的作用。这样做的好处是评估这两个国家温和伊斯兰教的前景，这两个国家被认为是进步伊斯兰教的最重要孵化器。

This project aims to investigate state support for Islamic practices in two large, Muslim-majority nation states, Turkey and Indonesia. In these countries, massively-funded bureaucracies allocate state resources for pious practices that until recently were considered outside the national interest. Combining the skills of anthropologists of Islam as well as a public economist, this project will ask which Muslim actors and practices receive and are denied these budgetary allocations. An outcome of the project will be to establish the role in governance of these compacts between Muslims and governments. The benefit is to gauge the prospects for moderate Islam in the two countries that are known as the foremost incubators of progressive Islam.
