İslami eğilimleri olan Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi’nin (AKP) 2002 seçimlerini kazanarak iktidara gelmesi ile birlikte Türkiye siyasetinde çok önemli bir değişim yaşandı. Seçimler Türkiye siyasetini derinden belirleyen “tsunami” etkisi yaratmış olsa da, Türkiye seçim coğrafyasında ortaya çıkan farklılaşmaların ne denli kalıcı olduğunu bir kez daha gözler önüne serdi. Coğrafi ağırlıklandırılmış regresyon olarak bilinen bir teknik yardımıyla bu yazıda, Türkiye’deki eşitsiz seçim coğrafyasının ardında yatan nedenler araştırılmaktadır. Elde edilen sonuçlar Türkiye siyaset sahnesinin iki temel aktörü olan AKP ve CHP’nin oy düzeyini belirleyen yerel etmenler açısından belirgin bir karşıtlık içinde olduklarını ortaya koymaktadır. AKP’nin, geleneksel sağ partilerin tersine, kent yoksulları ile Anadolu’nun hızla gelişen bölgelerinde kendine bir taban bulmuş olmasına karşın, sosyal demokrat CHP büyük ölçüde kentli seçkin kesimlerle kısıtlı kalmış görünmektedir. Bu bulgu, çoğu araştırmacı tarafından Türkiye siyasetinin en belirgin özelliklerinden biri olarak görülen “merkez-çevre” ayrımının yeni bir görüntüsü olarak ele alınmalıdır.

Home Country Parliamentary Representation of Diasporas: The Case of Turkey Yedekçi Schelhaas, Ayşe; Ayata, Ayşe; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2021-10-25) Turkey’s diaspora in Europe, constituting around five million citizens, has been central to Turkish domestic politics since the early days of mass labour migration in the 1960s. The Turkish Parliament, as the ultimate representative body, has played a crucial role both in shaping diaspora policies and defining who “the diaspora” is as individual MPs and party groups have placed diaspora-related issues high on the agenda, integrating these issues into various legislative processes. This dissertation looks at...
The Changing world order and German foreign policy in the era of chancellor Angela Merkel (2005-2021) Çilkoparan, Hidayet; Bağcı, Hüseyin; Department of International Relations (2022-6-06) Europe has left the Cold War period behind without a military clash with the Soviet Union and largely thanks to the policies of openness and re-structuring pursued by Michael Gorbachev, the eighth and last leader of the Soviet Union, witnessed a peaceful dissolution of the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact.

UNDERSTANDING THE VOTING MOTIVATIONS OF THE JUSTICE AND DEVELOPMENT PARTY VOTERS Süzen Akkaya, Esra; Şen, Mustafa; Department of Sociology (2022-6) This study addresses how the Justice and Development Party voters perceive and make sense of their support towards the party.

During the time that the party was in power, some voters had changes in their attitudes towards the party and acted differently. Therefore, the study aims to understand how the...

The rise of the AKP was interpreted as a real historical break in Turkish politics since the foundation of the Republic of Turkey, and sparked the emergence of new public discussions and academic debates on...
