In Turkey, Islamists and secularists have long battled to control public opinion. Secularists have attempted to lock religion into the private sphere. For their part, Islamists have struggled to gain and maintain public visibility. On each side, activists have exerted pressures on the non-activist majority, trying to make ordinary individuals falsify their preferences by acting as if they are committed to an extreme position. To investigate the consequences of the resulting distortions in public discourse, this dissertation applies Timur Kuran's theory of preference falsification to the interplay of Islamism and secularism in Turkey.

520 $a In Turkey, Islamists and secularists have long battled to control public opinion. Secularists have attempted to lock religion into the private sphere. For their part, Islamists have struggled to gain and maintain public visibility. On each side, activists have exerted pressures on the non-activist majority, trying to make ordinary individuals falsify their preferences by acting as if they are committed to an extreme position. To investigate the consequences of the resulting distortions in public discourse, this dissertation applies Timur Kuran's theory of preference falsification to the interplay of Islamism and secularism in Turkey.
520 $a Chapter 1 identifies two kinds of preference falsification: pro-Islamist (misrepresentation of secular preferences under Islamist pressures) and pro-secularist (misrepresentation of Islamic preferences under secularist pressures). To uncover motives for preference falsification, Chapter 2 investigates the competing Islamist and secularist social projects. Chapter 3 examines the historical discourse on the construction of the secular public sphere in Turkey. Using archival data, it documents that Kemalist secularism triumphed partly as a result of pro-secularist preference falsification. Chapter 4 depicts a dual preference model that pinpoints three possible responses to perceived social pressures: exit, sincere voice, and preference falsification. It further investigates the repercussions of pro-Islamist and pro-secularist preference falsification in public discourse on the social role of Islam. Chapter 5 presents a field survey involving 300 respondents. It displays empirical evidence on the forms of preference falsification that have polarized Turkish public opinion, with Islamists at one end and secularists at the other. Chapter 6 concludes the dissertation with thoughts on whether greater democratization and a strengthened civil society may unleash a new social consensus involving greater tolerance for competing political viewpoints.
