The purpose of this research, conducted after the 2015 parliamentary election in Turkey, was to investigate the relations of individuals with their local in-group and an extended in-group. In-group favoritism was interpreted using relative deprivation and social identity theories. Participants were supporters of the Republican People's Party, the Peoples' Democratic Party, and the Nationalist Movement Party. After demographic variables were controlled, group-based relative deprivation and group identification predicted the endorsement of extreme bias in favor of the local in-group and extended in-group members. Second, depending on the participant's political party identity, there were significant differences in relations with members of the supported dissident political party and citizens of the Republic of Turkey.

Politics and the Mass Media in Turkey Kaya, Ahmet Raşit; Çakmur, Barış (Informa UK Limited, 2010-01-01) This article sets out to examine the linkages between the media and politics in Turkey. It argues that, rooted in the world of politics from the outset, Turkish media has always been marked by a high degree of political parallelism. As regulator and funder, the state, making up the political majority, exerted strong control over the media. In the 1990s, the shift to a globalized market and the explosive growth of private broadcasting did not decrease the high degree of political parallelism. Instead, it ena...
Europeanization of foreign policy: the case of Turkish foreign policy towards the Black Sea region Ustun, Cigdem (Informa UK Limited, 2010-01-01) Turkey's efforts to initiate an active foreign policy towards the Black Sea region in the 1990s were scuttled by Russian influence and an international environment inconducive to multilateralism. When security needs changed in the twenty-first century and the enlargement of the EU reached the Black Sea, a multilateral approach was developed for the region by local and international actors, i.e., the EU and Turkey. In this framework, this article aims to show the changes observed in Turkish foreign policy to...
