A MULTIPLE CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATION: AKHISM

The aim of this study is to inform about the organization and functioning of Akhism and its effects on the social, economical and business life regulation. The research is a literature study. Akhism takes on the identity of a non-governmental organization, both providing a commercial control mechanism in terms of its internal dynamics, and helping its followers learn moral values and put them into practice. Along with being a non-governmental organization, it should not be considered to be totally away from government support and control. In those times when The Ahijs were influential, they were also organized and supported by statesmen for their contribution to the military force which is of great importance for a state.
