Starting from the 1970̕s, as a result of influx of immigration and of rise of ethno- cultural conflicts the issue of multiculturalism has come to become one of the significant themes of contemporary politics. In this respect, new policies have been developed in order to manage this increasing ethnic and cultural diversity. In this study it is aimed to get a critical perspective for the analysis of the question of multiculturalism in Turkey with reference to Turkey-EU relationships. As is widely accepted, the issue of multiculturalism is a conjunctural historical phenomenon emerging within the objective conditions of Western liberal democracies. When this issue is put within Turkey̕s political framework, Turkey with its own historical and political conditions constitute a distinct context in the sense that this question is taken into account with respect to broader problems including democratization or the extension of human rights. On this basis, it will be argued that, the politics of multiculturalism and normative premises associated with it have no taken for granted progressive meaning or role rather to what extent the relevant multicultural policy measures contribute to the solution of various ethnic or cultural conflicts is itself an empirical and political matter, and also part of changing power relations.

The Case of Alevis in Turkey and the Challenge to Liberal Multiculturalism
Şen, Mustafa; Karademir, Aret (2020-12-01)
This paper investigates how and why Alevis in Turkey have insisted that they are not a minority community and have been reluctant to formulate their religio-cultural demands in the framework of minority rights, thereby challenging what is often called liberal multiculturalism. Inquiring into the type of minority community Alevis form, alongside Turkey’s minority rights history, it explains why the case of Alevis necessitates a certain revaluation of liberal multiculturalism, as well as a reformulation of gr...
The Impact of EU-based Populism on Turkey-EU Relations
Alpan, Başak Zeynep (Informa UK Limited, 2019-10-02)
The May 2019 EP elections once again highlighted the current cultural backlash throughout Europe against progressive values such as cosmopolitanism and multiculturalism, which impacts on the 'future of Europe' debate, raising important questions for the evolution of Turkey-EU relations. Even though Turkey is no longer a hot topic in EU political parlance and public opinion, opposition to Turkish EU membership continues in the form of nativism, particularly with reference to the issues of immigration and Isl...
The Paradoxes of European Union Immigration Policy and its Repercussions on Turkish-EU Relations
Arslan, Mehmet İnanç; Yalvaç, Faruk; Department of International Relations (2012)
In thesis, the way wended by European Union immigration policy is addressed under the light of historical background. Essentially, the arguments regarding immigration and free movement aroused and gained momentum in EU in 1980s. During 1990s, the justice and home affairs subjects obtained a central point among EU policies abruptly. However, despite all the efforts since then, it is still early to say that there emerges a uniform European immigration policy. In fact, it is quite hard to reach such a common p...
The inevitability of post regeneration rent increases in heritage places: The assessment of two urban renewal projects from Turkey
Özçakır, Özgün; Mıgnosa, Anna; Bilgin Altınöz, Ayşe Güliz (2018-06-29)
Cultural heritage places embody socio-cultural and economic values and as a result of which, heritage places become the subject of renewal interventions. It is evident that every renewal intervention is alteration to its values, then interventions will change the values that heritage places involve. Economic values, mostly the rent value of heritage referring to the real estate value, will also be effected by the renewal interventions. This cause and effect relationship between the renewal and real estate v...
