| Summary/Abstract |
This article addresses the religious policies of Turkey’s Justice and Development Party (AKP) targeted at promoting Islam among the Turkish Cypriot community. For the secular circles of the Turkish Cypriot community, the AKP’s imposed religious policies constitute a threat to its fundamental features and social fabric. Islamisation policies are regarded as cultural imperialism of the AKP government, with the aim of generating a religious youth, a conservative mentality, and more widespread religious practice in North Cyprus. Within this context, this article analyzes the historical account of the secularization experience of the Turkish Cypriot community, the politicization of religion with reference to education, and the penetration of AKP’s religious policies in North Cyprus.

| Summary/Abstract |
Policies introduced by the Chinese government in the name of fighting terrorism, religious extremism and separatism have significantly reshaped the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) – even though securitization has not brought the ‘stability’ that the PRC government claims in its continuous defense of its policies. Analysis of Chinese legal documents can provide a clearer picture of the government’s intentions in the region, since they are almost free from the propaganda ballast abundant in Chinese policy documents. This article analyses recent amendments to two legal documents, the Religious Affairs Regulations and the Regulations of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region on Religious Affairs. It discusses why certain articles were omitted, modified or added and what this can tell us about the situation in China and in particular in Xinjiang. It also suggests that Xinjiang has been a testing site for national religious policy, not just new surveillance methods.
