Intertwined Roles Of The Politics Of Belonging And Political Socialization In The Modern Political Projects, Aidiyet Siyaseti ve Siyasal Sosyalleşmenin Modern Siyasal Projelerdeki Bütünleşik Rolleri. The Journal Of Social Science, 5(9), 42–59https://doi.org/10.30520/tjsosci.827277https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12695/1018This study intends to make a comprehensive analysis of the intertwined roles of the politics of belonging and political socialization in the modern political world. In this sense, basic hypothesis behind this study is that while mankind’s need to belong is regarded as among the innate traits, the politics of belonging, on the other hand, is a modern phenomenon like the nation is. In simple terms, transition from pre-modernity to the modernity basically refers to emergence of subjective rights in favour of the individual who became right-bearer entity. That also means transformation of the legal ground in which any individual could have multiple social positions in a non-stratified societal construction instead strictly depending on only one lifetime fixed social position a peculiar social layer or hierarchy as apparently seen in the pre-modernity. Therefore, the emergence of the politics of belonging is strictly associated with that of the modernity, because of the fact that the main subject of the politics of belonging is basically the modern right-bearer individual whose political preferences are formed by his/her political socialization processes. Apparently, studying the politics of belonging in the context of the modernity and taking into account its intertwined relations with the political socialization eventually makes us rethink all the modern political conceptions like nation(alism), ethnicity, gender, terrorism, religious fundamentalism, migration and refugee issues and so on.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNeed to belongPolitics of belongingSocial exclusionPolitical socializationSubjective rightsArticle594259
