In this study, the relationship between the concept of global citizenship and immigration will be revealed by qualitative research methods. In this context, the phenomenon of global citizenship will be handled from an axiological perspective in the axis of the concept of immigration, acculturation, and globalization.
The concept of migration means that people are permanently moved from one country or region to another country or region, individually or in groups. So, this is a permanent session change. The relocation can take place within the country or abroad, but the important point is that permanent migration in the context of political and economic relations rather than the proximity of the migration distance is important. In this respect, domestic immigration is a major humanitarian, economic and socio-cultural problem that needs to be explored and solved. Today, one of the most important themes of many developed Western countries is to ensure that the immigrant population and the indigenous people live together in harmony. This is called integration.
However, the immigrant and refugee issues are undoubtedly one of the most important security and survival problems of our time frame. Because what could be more truthful and pathetic than the drama experienced by people who had to leave their country in mass, how and how this desperation can be described.

Excerpt from the Book
3 Globalization
Globalization is the dominant phenomenon of the period we are in. Globalization is a permanent trend. Globalization is an international system that shapes both local and foreign policies of all countries. Therefore, it states the importance of the concept of globalization as a key concept that can explain today's change.
For this reason, as the famous "post-modernism " concept of the 1980s, the main idea in understanding the transition of societies to the third millennium in explaining the processes may be the concept of "globalization" which is used in understanding the processes. Globalization is the integration of countries and peoples of the world, meaning the removal of artificial barriers to goods, services, capital, information, and, to a lesser extent, people crossing borders.
Globalization affects social and cultural lifestyles in the countries, it is directed towards homogenization in production and consumption approaches, and it creates radical changes in the forms of political and economic organization. While the power of the center increases significantly with globalization, the relatively lower competitive powers of the off-center forces are negatively affected.
