Özet:

The processes of globalization have led to the emergence of multicultural societies and the rise of demands for the transformation of the modern sense of citizenship based on a homogeneous society. At the same time, the rise of public demands of the religion, which was reduced to a particular place due to the secularist interpretations of the religious-state separation adopted by modernity, was also a matter of public demands. This article aims to reveal the relationship between these simultaneous developments of citizenship and religion that arise along with globalization, and the representatives of the four basic citizenship theories, which we have chosen from the liberal theory, the communist theory, participating republicanism and moderate post-modern pluralism, are compared to the answers of the representatives of the public demands of religion, in the face of the crisis of modern citizenship, taking into account today’s multicultural/multi-religious social structure. In this regard, issues of citizenship and religion, individual rights/group rights, public sphere-specific sphere, constitutional principles and democracy, identity-assistance and multi-legality are discussed under the topics, and the discontinuities that may arise in the provision of balance between state neutrality and religious freedom.
