This book examines modalities for the recognition and political
participation of minorities in plurinational states in theory and
in practice, with a specific reference to the Republic of Turkey
and the resolution of the Kurdish question. Drawing on the
experience of Spain and Eastern Europe and other recent novel
models for minority accommodation, including the Ottoman experience
of minority autonomy (the Millet System), the volume brings
together researchers from Turkey and Europe more broadly to develop
an ongoing dialogue that analytically examines various models for
national minority accommodation. These models promise to protect
the state's integrity and provide governmental mechanisms that
satisfy demands for collective representation of national
communities in the framework of a plurinational state.

Globalisation and neo-liberalism have been impacting the
nation-state and leading the full citizenship concept into crisis,
not only in Turkey but also in the world. While one reason for this
crisis is the decline of the welfare state, another reason stems
from the fluidity of borders that distorts the classical patterns
of the nation-state such as meta-identity. The existing Turkish
citizenship inherited a strong state idea with passive citizenship
tradition from the Ottoman Empire. However, this understanding is
no longer sustainable for Turkish society. The definition of
citizenship through state-led nationalism, secularism, and a free
market economy creates societal crises in politics and society. The
aim of this book is to find out the answer of what should be the
ideal citizenship regime for Turkey. Various scholars dealing with
Turkish socio-politics analyze different aspects and problems of
Turkish citizenship regime that should be tackled for finding a
recipe for ideal citizenship in Turkey.
