This book argues that the state¿s failure to accommodate ethno-religious diversity in Turkey is attributable to the founding philosophy of Turkish nationalism and its heavy penetration into the socio-political and legal fibre of the country. It examines the articulation and influence of the founding principle in law and in the higher courts¿ jurisprudence in relation to the concepts of nation, citizenship, and minorities. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, this timely book is of interest to those engaged in the fields of Middle Eastern, Islamic, Ottoman and Turkish studies, as well as to those working on human rights and international law and nationalism.
