Abstract

The aim of this paper is to elucidate globalization's impact on religion in Turkey in the case of a business association with an Islamic orientation, namely MÜSİAD, whose prominence has increased since the November 2002 elections. It is important to investigate MÜSİAD as a case study within this question because this Association, which has pointed Islam as their economic and cultural identity, acts as a strong internal economic actor of globalization in Turkey in the post-1990 period. The main goal is to find out how and in what terms globalization has affected the democratization and secularization processes in Turkey since the 1990s. This paper challenges the view that globalization and the economic, political and cultural changes it carried have led to the process of secularization or the declining role of religion in the Turkish society. The contention of this paper is that globalization altered the relations between religion, economy and state; however, the change cannot be regarded as secularization. Instead it can be regarded as the sacralization as opposed to secularization with assertion of new (Islamic) identities in the economic and cultural spheres in Turkey

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, küreselleşmenin Türkiye'de din üzerine etkisini "Müslüman" bir işadamı derneği olan ve Kasım 2002 seçimlerinden itibaren önemi artan MÜSİAD (Müstakil İşadamları Derneği) örneği üzerinden incelemektir. Bu sorunsal çerçevesinde MÜSİAD'ı incelemek gereklidir çünkü ekonomik ve kültürel kimliği olarak İslam'ı işaret eden bu dernek, 1990'lı yıllardan itibaren Türkiye'de küreselleşmenin güçlü bir aktörü olarak rol oynamaktadır. Buradaki temel amaç, küreselleşmenin 1990'lardan itibaren Türkiye'de demokratikleşme ve sekülerleşme süreçlerini ne şekilde etkilediğini bulmaktır. Bu makale, küreselleşme ve küreselleşmenin sebep olduğu ekonomik, siyasal ve kültürel değişimlerin sekülerleşmeye veya Türk toplumunda dinin rolünün azalmasına yol açtığı görüşünü sorgulamaktadır. Makalenin temel argümanı, küreselleşmenin Türkiye'de din, ekonomi ve devlet ilişkisini değiştirdiği, ancak bu değişimin sekülerleşme olarak de- ğil, Türkiye'de ekonomi ve kültürel alanlarda İslami kimliklerin ortaya konması nedeniyle sakralizasyon (sekürleşmenin yerine geleneksel din formundan farklı moderniteyle eklemlenmiş yeni dini kimliklerin ortaya çıkması) olarak değerlendirilmesi gerektiğidir.
