INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON CITIZENSHIP, STATE, AND IDENTITY IN A GLOBALIZING WORLD

June 1 - 2, 2000
Bilkent University

Organizers

Assoc. Prof. Fuat Keyman and Assoc. Prof. Ahmet İçduygu, Dept. of Political Science, Bilkent University

This conference deals, theoretically and empirically, with the changing nature of citizenship in a globalizing world. In doing so, it explores the ways in which the interactions between identity-based demands and citizenship rights are constructed and have generated impacts on state-society relations. In this sense, it provides a platform for theoretical and empirical discussion for scholars from different disciplines, different research orientations, and expertise on particular cases.
