The Right-Wing Populism and The Discourse of Nostalgia: The Case of The Alternative for Germany (AfD)
Emiroğlu, Doğukan; Alpan, Başak Zeynep; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2022-10-3)
Right-wing populism has achieved electoral success all around the globe in recent decades. The rise of right-wing populism has been widely discussed in academic literature, but the relationship between populism and nostalgia has not been debated enough, especially in Germany. This thesis aims to analyze the relationship between right-wing populism and the discourse of nostalgia in the context of the Alternative for Germany (AfD). Right-wing populist parties exploit nostalgia by referring to the ‘glorious pa...
The Neoliberal Discourse on Corruption as a Means of Consent Building: reflections from post-crisis Turkey
Bedirhanoğlu Toker, Pınar (2007-01-01)
This article draws attention to the ideological role that the neoliberal discourse on corruption has fulfilled in the promotion of the second generation reforms in Southern countries since the 1997 East Asian financial crisis. This discourse is ahistoric insofar as it fails to recognise corruption as a problem of modernity; biased insofar as it associates corruption with Southern countries' historical and cultural specificities only; contradictory in terms of its counter-productive anti-corruption strategie...
The Greek political elite and the European identity: impact of the debt crisis
Çengel, Esra; Ünlü Bilgiç, Tuba; Department of European Studies (2018)
This thesis aims to analyze the possible impact of the 2008 Greek Debt Crisis on the Greek elites’ perception of belonging to the European identity. It will argue that the 2008 Debt Crisis has negatively affected the Greek elites’ perception of identity. It is assumed that this negative change has been reflected in their discourses throughout the crisis. Therefore, this thesis will try to demonstrate the change through discourse analysis of the political elites’ speeches from 2002 to 2015. In doing so, it w...
The politics of local economic growth- a critical approach : the case of Manisa
Tunç, Gülçin; Şengül, Hüseyin Tarık; Department of Urban Policy Planning and Local Governments (2010)
The mainstream accounts on local growth politics, which generally conceptualize the current context around the globalization of investments and the prominent role of local entrepreneuralism, argue for the tendency towards local coalitions. In opposition, the main argument of the thesis is that an increasingly fragmented and conflictual local growth politics is the defining feature of the contemporary localities. Defining the current context around the increased involvement of the business actors in directin...
The AKP hegemony and the Gezi protests: between resistance and dissidence
Turhan, Yöntem; Alpan, Başak Zeynep; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2018)
In this thesis, I examine the Gezi uprising and the way in which it positions itself vis-a vis the AKP hegemony and its neoliberal policies. For this purpose, I trace the concept of hegemony in a Gramscian and post-Marxist sense since these approaches evaluate social movements and civic actions with respect to the hegemonic struggle. I criticize post Marxist perspectives for their limitations in describing the components of social movements and the forms of struggle. I also problematize the transformation o...
