تأمين التعليم الديني: الأطر النظرية والمنظورات الدولية

This study examines the securitization of religious education through an interdisciplinary theoretical framework, exploring the intersections between religion’s public presence and security policies. The shift in security discourses following 9/11 has increasingly aligned religion with national security strategies, leading to significant transformations in educational policies. In this context, religious education has transitioned from a purely pedagogical field to an area instrumentalized for maintaining social stability and combating extremism. Employing document analysis as a qualitative method, the study descriptively evaluates policy recommendations and reports from international bodies such as the OSCE, UNESCO, and the Council of Europe. It critically assesses the normative frameworks proposed by these institutions and explores epistemological and pedagogical tensions arising from the security-oriented instrumentalization of religious education. Within the Turkish context, intersections between religious education and security discourses are analyzed in relation to changing state-religion dynamics. The study concludes that the securitization of religious education is not merely a pedagogical or ideological issue but represents a significant dimension of states’ evolving domestic and international security strategies, underscoring the need for further comprehensive academic inquiry.
