COMPARATIVE STUDY ON CITIZENSHIP BY INVESTMENT: EXAMPLE OF TURKEY

Öz

Migration has been an endemic phenomenon throughout human history. If their progression among the priorities of the political agenda of Developed countries seems inexorable, their progression among the priorities of political philosophy is on the other hand slower. The idea of citizenship, that is to say the right to belong to the city, to participate in decisions relating to the political community made up of each of the individuals who compose it, is at the heart of this conception. This article will explore citizenship by investment as one of the most recent and most controversial mode of all. With Turkey as an example, a comparative study on how different countries offer their citizenship by investment or provision of special financial assets through the procedure of naturalization, will be established.

COMPARATIVE STUDY ON CITIZENSHIP BY INVESTMENT: EXAMPLE OF TURKEY

Öz

Göç, insanlık tarihi boyunca endemik bir olgu olmuştur. Gelişmiş ülkelerin siyasi gündeminin öncelikleri arasında ilerlemeleri amansız görünüyorsa, siyaset felsefesinin öncelikleri arasında ilerlemeleri daha yavaştır. Vatandaşlık fikri, yani şehre ait olma, onu oluşturan bireylerin her birinden oluşan siyasi topluluğa ilişkin kararlara katılma hakkı bu anlayışın merkezinde yer alır. Bu makale, yatırım yoluyla vatandaşlığı, en yeni ve en tartışmalı modlardan biri olarak inceleyecektir. Örnek olarak Türkiye ile, farklı ülkelerin vatandaşlıklarını yatırım yoluyla veya özel finansal varlıkların vatandaşlığa kabul prosedürü yoluyla nasıl sundukları konusunda karşılaştırmalı bir çalışma oluşturulacaktır.
