This thesis analyzes the concept of populism as a political logic by comparing three populist eras in Argentine history so as to understand if populist movements could be articulated to sustainable economic development strategies. The capacity of populism to articulate different classes ans ideologies in times of crises have reproduced populist movements throughout Argentine history. The role of populism in crisis resolution and neutralizing social conflict is discussed through analysis of political economy during the rules of Juan Domingo Peron, Carlos Menem and Nestor Kirchner. The analysis is focussed on the way in which populism have changed the economic and political structure in Argentina. Therefore, this thesis seeks to analyse the political and economic transformations during these populist rules in Argentina as well as the extent of change in the relations with the global economic system so as to construct an understanding of the developmental capacities of these populist rules.

Political legimitimacy of nation state : shifts within the global context Ateş, Davut; Yurdusev, Ahmet Nuri; Department of International Relations (2004) The thesis investigates the basis of possible sources of shifts in the classical conceptualizations of political legitimacy of nation state as a result of the impositions of globalization.

Global governmentality of international migration: case of Turkey Zeytin, Elif; Yalvaç, Faruk; Department of International Relations (2017) This thesis examines how neoliberal globalization shapes the policies concerning international migration.

In particular, re-conceptualization of international migration as a global policy issue in the effective migration management framework is evaluated as t...
The democratic deficit of the European Union : an institutionalist approach Kodakcı, Devrim; Gitmez, Ali; Department of European Studies (2004) This thesis analyses the democratic deficit problem of the European Union in a historical context.

Therefore, in order to rectify it and make the Union more legitimate in the eyes of its citizens, the institutions of the Union should be re-struc...
