Özet:

Nationalism is an ideology that has shaped the world politics since the end of the 18th century and formed the mental foundation of today’s modern state (national state). It is quite difficult to find a geography or community that nationalism does not affect the world. Therefore, it is unlikely that there are no different manifestations of an ideology that is so influential throughout the world. These different manifestations have been tried to be classified under the titles of "civil nationalisms" and "ethnic nationalisms" which are often used in nationalism studies. While civil nationalism represents the Values of Enlightenment and individual freedom, ethnic nationalism more calls for an exclusion based on the common native myth. The aim of our study is to evaluate nationality, which is one of the different nationalist flows in Turkish political life and is a “resistance” through secularism, chemalism and anti-emperialism in the context of civil and ethnic nationalisms against the process of globalization that “make” the national state.
