After 1990, the Muslim Turks and Tatars in Dobruja (Romania), the region where the community is concentrated demographically, as other Muslim communities in the Balkans, became the environment of interaction and confrontation between ranges of transnational actors. The objective of my research is to determine the influence and effects of transnational Islam on the community from Dobruja. Practically I will try to identify the transnational actors involved in the religious rebirth after 1990 in Dobruja, analysing their customs and plans of action and interaction in the Muslim community, their effects in the Muslim community, starting from the religious elite and down to the members of the community, including daily life, on the daily religious practice of Muslims from Dobruja but also on the religious personnel and education. Obviously, the analysis of the transnational Islam includes also the role of Turkey in the identity rebuilding of the Muslim Turks and Tatars from Dobruja, after 1990. The analysis of Turkey’s role will be looked at in the wider frame of the new external policy conducted by Turkey in the Balkans after 1990, mostly based on Turkey’s historical duty towards the Muslim communities from the area that include in their ethnic, cultural and religious structure the Ottoman background.
