Citizenship and Ethnic Conflict
Making a case for separating citizenship from nationality, this book comparatively examines a selection of nation-states in terms of their definitions of nationality and citizenship, and the way in which the association of some with the European Union has transformed these definitions.
In a combination of case studies from Europe and the Middle East, this books comparative framework addresses the question of citizenship and ethnic conflict from the foundation of the nation-state to the current challenges raised by globalization. This edited volume examines six different countries and looks at the way that ethnic or religious identity lies at the core of the national community, ultimately determining the states definition and treatment of its citizens. The selected contributors to this new volume investigate this common ambiguity in the construction of nations, and look at the contrasting ways in which the issues of citizenship and identity are handled by different nation-states.
This book will be of great interest to students and scholars studying in the areas of citizenship and the nation-state, ethnic conflict, globalization, and Middle Eastern and European Politics.

Acknowledgements
The idea for this book, though not the book itself, grew out of a conference that took place at Bogazii University, Istanbul, in 1999. The conference, Redefinition of National Identity in the Age of Culturalist Politics, was organized jointly by Gnter Seufert, then irector of the Istanbul branch of the German Orient-Institut, and myself, and was funded by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation (Ankara), Krber Foundation (Hamburg), and Bogazii University Foundation (Istanbul). I am grateful to Gnter Seufert for being the perfect friend and colleague, to Maurus Reinkowski and Karin Vorhoff for their contributions to the organization and eventual success of this exciting event, and to the funding organizations for making it possible.
