Abstract
In this study, it was analysed that multiculturalism, which globalization has offered as a solution to cultural differences, has triggered again nationalism in the process of bringing national identities into the forefront again with postmodernism. In the historical process, various cultural policies have been applied over national identities and attempts have been made to solve identity crises based on different acceptances in the lived period. Thus, modernity with nation-state political form has attempted to create a homogeneous nation identity by destroying the sub-identities; likewise the postmodern thought is continuing to take steps towards eliminating upper identity by putting a global ideology that will disrupt social integrity with the emphasis on cultural identities and differences. Multiculturalism, which one of the identity politics of globalization, is pushing the nation-state structure and raising the representation crises of different identities. This identity politics as a solution also carries the risk of turning into nationalism. In this study, it was analyzed that the different understandings of multiculturalism in Europe create this risk rather than reconciliation.
