The Interaction between Religion, Globalization and Citizenship

This paper examines the interaction between three major concepts, namely, globalization, citizenship and religion. While religion and globalization are sharing in the character of transnationalization without any ethnic and geographical orientations, they are in serious challenge within the arena of citizenship. To be a citizen of a particular country means belonging to a bounded geography, politics and ethnic cultural group, which is paradoxically in challenge with the unbounded concept of religion and globalization. Hence, in this paper, first, the concept of globalization, then the concept of citizenship based on the theories of Marshal (1950) and Turner (1993,1999) have been considered and scientifically discussed. Finally, based on the theoretical cape which seems Marsh and Turner did not consider the role of the place of "social belonging" in the formation of citizenship is reflected on the basis of the field study concerning the issue of citizenship and belonging among the British Muslims in London.
