Allocation of resources in the Gülen Movement

fgulen.org

Are the resources of the Gülen Movement allocated among the social movement organizations (SMOs) by a central authority?

No. No single individual in the Movement or in any SMO has the right to distribute power or resources.

However, that does not imply that there are no authority structures within SMOs and institutions. The distribution of administrative power can vary within the SMOs, but the local and decentralized control of resources means that resources are not and cannot be reallocated among the collective actors of the Gülen Movement by any central authority.
