Öğe Congruence in Proportional Representation Systems: Non-Economic Issue Salience and Coalition Formation(Wiley, 2022) Kemahlioglu, Ozge; Bilgin, Hasret DikiciThis article contributes to our understanding of democratic representation by analyzing government congruence - the gap between the positions of the government and the median voter - within proportional representation systems. Analyzing elections in non-post-communist, democratic OECD countries in the post-war period until 2014, we argue and show that the salience of non-economic issues such as national way of life and migration led to ideological incongruence indirectly through its effect on government formation by right-wing political parties. We suggest that in this period right-wing political parties that own and emphasize these issues found it easier to differentiate themselves from their ideological counterparts and join a coalition with them without being threatened by credit claiming conflicts. Since, everything else kept constant, right-wing coalitions were then more likely to emerge when such non-economic issues were salient in the party system, their probability to form when the median is located at the center was also higher, leading to higher levels of ideological incongruence overall.Öğe National Elections in Turkey: People, Politics, and the Party System(Cambridge Univ Press, 2017) Bilgin, Hasret Dikici[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Obscurities of a Referendum Foretold: The 2017 Constitutional Amendments in Turkey(Cambridge Univ Press, 2018) Bilgin, Hasret Dikici; Erdogan, EmreThe 2017 referendum marked a transition from an already incongruous parliamentary system to rampant presidentialism and created more conflicts rather than defusing them. Given the extraordinary conditions under which the referendum was held, and the limited time allowed for discussion of its possible ramifications, any effort to analyze the eve and aftermath of the referendum provoked more questions than answers. Why was the referendum held in 2017, although the governing party had advocated for a new constitution and transition to a presidential system since it came to power in 2002? What was the attitude of the voters towards the presidential system? How did popular support change or did it in fact change during the referendum campaign? The analysis of these questions presented here relies on extant research to inventory what we really know and do not know about the most recent Turkish referendum and why these unanswered questions might have critical consequences.Öğe Radicalisation in competitive authoritarian contexts: visualising refugees with DIY media(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Bilgin, Hasret Dikici; Korkut, Umut; Fazekas, RolandThis article focuses on how visual media interacts with the government practices in competitive authoritarian regimes. We argue that while the visual representation of refugees can in general mainstream radicalisation, it gains additional traction in authoritarian context as it streams political discontent away from the governments to 'ungrateful' refugees. The paper is built on an analysis of do-it-yourself (DIY) videos in Turkey and Hungary in relation to two specific events involving refugees. The extant research mostly looks into online activism via DIY media. However, we approach them from an opposite perspective and show that not only social movements, but also states benefit from the audience-making potential of DIY media insomuch as these videos appear less as government propaganda and more as representative of public opinion.Öğe Revisiting the moderation controversy with space and class: the Tunisian Ennahda(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021) Bilgin, Hasret DikiciWhat shapes political parties' direction of change on the political spectrum? Under what conditions do Islamist movements moderate or shift towards a more radical stance? Drawing on the case of the Ennahda Party in Tunisia, I argue that transformation of the Islamist parties should be analysed on par with that of the secular parties, by focussing on the parties' popular base and the target electorate rather than through a moderation-radicalisation framework. I find that Ennahda's shift to Muslim democracy, self-defined as specialisation, is owed to their need to be backed by the new urban middle class in order to rule while maintaining the support of the rural and urban poor to come to power. Through field interviews conducted with the members of Tunisian political parties as well as union leaders and activists, I show that the secular parties are going through a similar process under the pressure of the spatial and class-related dynamics.Öğe Social conflicts and politicised cleavages in Turkey(Routledge, 2018) Bilgin, Hasret Dikici[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Susluman: on class and gender issues in contemporary Turkish political Islam(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022) Bilgin, Hasret DikiciThis article argues that class divisions within Islamist community are an emerging aspect of contemporary Turkish politics. Nearly two decades of rule by an Islamist party enabled the Islamic capital to become a distinct capital fraction without improving the living conditions of the devout masses substantially. This fault line appears in the increasingly discernible criticism of the everyday lifestyles of rich Muslim women from within. Controversy over the extravagance of veiled women appears as a proxy class struggle between the new Islamic middle class and the devout poor, as well as the continued polarization between the Islamists and the secularists.Öğe Turkey's Ministerial Elites: The Growing Importance of Technical Expertise(Palgrave, 2018) Sayari, Sabri; Bilgin, Hasret Dikici[Abstract Not Available]
