Aşırı Sağ ve Çokkültürlük : Avrupa’da Ötekileştirilen “Göçmenler”

Abstract

The extreme-right parties and groups that oppose to multiculturalism and adopting an Eurocentric culture ideology, emphasize the diversity of cultural formats and they argue that migrants have difficulty in adapting to the society and bring economic burden. As a result of the changing concept of security following the end of the Cold War, the migrants coded each other as a “security problem”. This new perspective, which sees immigrants as a threat for security, has been subject to abuse for extreme-right parties. Disturbingly, the September 11 and following attacks in Madrid, London, Paris and Brussels have moved the agenda of Europe towards a point completely based on security. The claim that the terrorists involved in the attacks used the migration routes for their action or the claim that resident migrants in Europe are the actors of the attacks have led to seeing immigrants as a “potential terrorists”. European countries move away from the values of Human Rights with the applied policies and treat refugees as “cultural and economic problems”.. Migrants, however, are prevented from participating in economic and socio-political life
