It is out of this context that the modern , liberal-democratic notion of citizenship has become focus of attention for the students of political science. The modern, liberal-democratic idea of citizenship is based upon a distinction between public and private which embraces the principle of equality before the law in the public while relegating all particularities and differences to the private. This thesis tries to explain the “turban question” in Turkey by contextualizing it with reference to the points raised by the contemporary critics of modern, liberal-democratic conception of citizenship.85 leavesEnglishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessJC599.T87 G46 1997Human rights--Turkey.Civil rights--Turkey.Human rights--Turkey, Eastern.Civil rights--Turkey, Eastern.Turkey--Politics and government--1980-.Muslim women--Conduct of life.Thesis
