ETNO-KÜLTÜREL KİMLİKLERİN BÖLÜNMÜŞ TOPLUMLARDA DÜZENLENMESİ

Abstract

The management of ethnocultural diversity and design of related identities constitute one of the most fundamental questions of contemporary political science and constitutional law. Many countries in today’s world, albeit in different versions and degrees, are faced with challenges caused by ethnocultural identities that have transformed into political identities. This article aims to highlight the most realistic and democratic method for such management and design through researching approaches employed for ethnocultural identities in ethnoculturally deeply divided societies. In this context, following a brief explanation of the concept of a divided society, a macro-political analysis will be used to determine the main approaches and methods. Following will be an examination as to whether the consociational power-sharing method is best suited as a design for ethnocultural identities in divided societies.
