The paper deals with Contemporary History of Turkey. The paper explores the Turkish Muslim communities which have a reputation of the most developed and highly adjusted to the Modern religious communities in the World. The dynamics of their expansion both inside Turkey and abroad are constantly rising. Despite the increasing interest in the topics of modern Islam the problem of Turkish jemaats as an ideological/conceptual challenge to the current patterns of global governance is understudied. Against this background, the paper aims to analyze special features of global civil society activities focusing on the Turkish jemaats as a showcase.
