This thesis aims to analyze the ideology of the “European New Right” (Nouveille Droite) and its attempt to establish its cultural hegemony on European integration. The revival of the radical right-wing parties after 1980s and the rise of xenophobia have emerged as a fundamental threat to European democracy. The study of such developments and the measures taken to combat right-wing extremism, however, should not be limited to political parties and activists. The intellectual framework of the contemporary radical right as a successor of historical fascism and its Europeanization necessitates a broader and deeper analysis of the ideology of the radical right. The case of “European New Right” as one of the most influential right-wing intellectual networks provides the appropriate ground to discuss on such framework and to elaborate its impact on European integration.

A discursive enquiry into the political economy of new labour: is it a rupture from or a perpetuation of neoliberal hegemony?
Savaş, Efe; Yalman, Osman Galip; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2009)
From the 1980’s onwards a new conceptual framework which will be subsequently called neoliberalism has become hegemonic by transforming and redefining the common sense. In the midst of the world economic crisis in the 1970s which would bring the collapse of Keynesian paradigm, a new political culture promoting the superiority of market-based order has started to emerge. Subsequently during the 1980s, by establishing ‘market-oriented society’ as the new dominant paradigm, neoliberal hegemony has realized fur...
The essence of EU strategy in South East Europe : The Republic of Macedonia
Atay, Niyazi Güneş; Bağcı, Hüseyin; Department of International Relations (2004)
This thesis examines the South East European policy of the European Union, which promoted the prospect of a ءUnited Europe̕. After the end of the bipolar world system, the ultimate aim of the East European countries has been the integration into the European Union. The transition and integration process, that they initiated in accordance with this aim, made up the basis of their relations with the Union. Nevertheless, the South East European countries, which became a sub-region within East Europe, joined to...
The new imperialism in Central and Eastern Europe
Doğan, Lütfi (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2020-12)
This study examines the Eastern enlargement of the European Union within the frame of imperialism. The existing literature on the Eastern enlargement has typically framed the transition of Central and Eastern European countries (CEECs) as “return to Europe” meaning their return to democracy, civil society and market economy. This perspective emphasizes that the enlargement has provided an integration of western and eastern parts of Europe. However, this study argues the Eastern enlargement has crystallized ...
The European Union's strategy towards the Western Balkans: Exclusion or integration?
Türkeş, Mustafa (SAGE Publications, 2006-09-01)
This article analyzes the European Union's strategy towards the Western Balkans as a hegemonic project. The European Commission's strategy is neither total exclusion nor rapid integration. The Commission's aim is to restructure the Western Balkans in line with neoliberalism to prepare the region for the "preincorporation stage." The Commission's major initiatives show that this neoliberal restructuring need not end in full membership but remains an open-ended process. Two components of the Commission's form...
Ibn Khaldun’s conception of dynastic cycles and contemporary theories of international system change: a comparative assessment /
Yücekaya, Metin; Yurdusev, Ahmet Nuri; Department of International Relations (2014)
This thesis intends to nurture the argument that Ibn Khaldun’s thought on rise and fall of dynastical polities introduces a distinct approach to the field of International Relations. Throughout the paper, it is argued that Ibn Khaldun’s perception about the world, history and politics is less normative but more scientific. However, it is also claimed here that despite the similarities on politics and cyclical history and even transition concept with realist such as Gilpin, Modelski, Kennedy, Khaldun’s defin...
