The Role of Foreign Policy-related Issues on the Rise of Right-wing Populism: The Case of Hungary.
Ceydilek, Erdem (2018-09-14)
If the rise of the populist radical right in Europe is one fact, the other fact is that, as even a skin-deep look at their discourses will show, the roots of this rise mostly lay in the foreign policy-related issues such as EU membership, immigration policies and security. On the other hand, it is also observable that domestic political gains have priority for these European populist radical right (EPRR) leaders than the foreign policy goals. For this reason, foreign policy issues have an ambivalent nature ...
The Theory and the practice of neoliberal transformation in Kyrgyzstan: the case of gold extraction in the Bozumchak mining field
Manasov, Zamirbek; Bedirhanoğlu Toker, Pınar; Department of International Relations (2019)

The bifurcation of political Islam in Turkey : the case of the People's Voice party
Arslan, Nursel; Şen, Mustafa; Department of Sociology (2012)
This study aims to show why there was a schism within National Outlook (Milli Görüş, MG) in Turkey during 2000s, why political Islamist parties having different discourse from MG emerged, and more specifically why and how People's Voice Party (Halkın Sesi Partisi - HAS Party) differed from MG and political Islamist parties. The argument of this study is that socioeconomic factors have played an important role in differentiation of political Islam in Turkey and transformation of MG. Consequently, I tried to ...
