This thesis aims to examine the issue of the peasantry, peasantism, and land in Turkey within the framework of the periodical Ülkü, which was published between 1933-1950. After the proclamation of the Republic, on the one hand, the orientation to the village started with the desire for development. On the other hand, when the fragility of the Republican People’s Party (RPP) was seen in the attempts to transition to a multi-party political life, the writers of Ülkü turned to the villagers as a means of creating a social base. This thesis focuses on the different channels of the peasantist ideology, which reflects the peasant orientation. While the journal authors can defend different opinions within themselves, it has been observed that sometimes the same author can change his mind over time. As a result, this thesis argues that the peasantism in Ülkü periodical is maintained by containing some contradictions within itself.

If there is structure in discourse, what is the nature of this structure, and what is its complexity? For this purpose, we analyze the relations annotated in the Turkish Discourse Bank,...

A critical evaluation of the third way and its reflections on Turkish Politics Türk, Duygu; Yalman, Osman Galip; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2005) This thesis aims to provide a critical evaluation of the Third Way and its reflections on Turkish politics. The Third Way emerged in the late 1990s with a claim to provide an alternative both to the old social democracy of welfare state period and to neo-liberalism. Based on a specific account of the radically changed world, the Third Way has maintained that the new conditions have rendered the old conceptualizations, as well as the old political positions, invalid. In this sense, this thesis argues that th...
