– Modernity, citizenship and democracy. A case study: Rethinking the «Kurdish question» in Turkey, E. Fuat Keyman, Sabancı University, Istanbul
Beate Roessler’s article addresses the fundamental problem for intercultural relations of how to conceive that flourishing of a culture (and persons within a culture) which then specific legal provisions or administrative policies may enhance or stifle. David Rasmussen revisits the notion of the political, while Fuat Keyman addresses these issues with reference to the centrality of the ‘Kurdish Question’ for the consolidation of Turkish Democracy.
