Özet:

In the study, Asad Ghanem’s model of understanding ethnic minority demands is analyzed. Ghanem’s discussions with the other models are examined, the components of Ghanem’s model are explained, the case of Israel is selected from the case studies of Ghanem to evaluate the explanatory strength of the model. The significance of the study is that it is the first academic research on Ghanem’s model of understanding ethnic minority demands in the political science literature in Turkey. In the study, literature scanning and content analysis are used. The study puts forth whether the type of minority such as indigenous or immigrant and the type of the political regime in which minority lives such as democracy or ethnocracy will be accepted as the significant criterion to understand the minority demands. In the study, it is questioned whether different Palestinian groups have different demands.
