    How to struggle with exclusionary right-wing populism: evidence from Turkey
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Ercetin, Tugce; Boyraz, Cemil
    This paper investigates the new character of the strategy of the Republican People's Party (CHP) using populism to combat the success of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP). We consider populism along a left-right axis in terms of the differentiation of exclusionary and inclusionary approaches and conduct a content analysis of campaign speeches by Ekrem Imamoglu during the 2019 local elections, as well as speeches of the party elites given during the currency crisis of 2018 and the COVID-19 pandemic. We argue that an alternative to the exclusionary right-wing populism may construct images of egalitarianism, participatory budgeting, and agrarian populism instead of mobilizing security or survival issues.

    How Turkey's repetitive elections affected the populist tone in the discourses of the Justice and Development Party Leaders
    (Sage Publications Inc, 2018) Ercetin, Tugce; Erdogan, Emre
    Perceived uncertainty and anger lead people to investigate with respect to the establishment, and politicians who are seen as reckless within society. In this sense, populist discourse paved a way to respond by glorifying one group of people and scapegoating others that emerge as group differentiation. Critical moments especially illustrate mutual constructive identification through the discourse of political actors. This article explores a contextual change in the populist discourse of the Justice and Development Party (JDP) leaders by observing the successive elections that occurred in 2015. It argues that the leaders mainly expressed an us-them distinction, in-group superiority, and the people populist themes; as well as these themes, the electoral speeches made for the second election presented scapegoating and exclusionary statements even more.

    'Mirror, mirror on the wall, please tell me horizontal ellipsis ': the populist rhetoric of the 'new' media of 'new Turkey' during the April 16, 2017 referendum
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021) Ercetin, Tugce; Erdogan, Emre
    This article aims to explain how the media reproduced populist themes during the campaign for the constitutional referendum in 2017 by examining columns in pro-government newspapers and conducting a content analysis. The findings demonstrate that 'the people' were seen as the most significant opposition to the establishment. The 'us-them' distinction was mostly used, which was promoted by othering, emphasizing the moral superiority and victimization of the in-group and humiliating out-groups. The study argues that populist discourse is successful in making group differentiations and that pro-AKP elements in the media helped the government gain consent for its campaign for a 'new Turkey.'

    The reproduction of fear in populist discourse: an analysis of campaign speeches by the Justice and Development Party elites
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Ercetin, Tugce; Erdogan, Emre
    This paper scrutinizes the reproduction of fear in the populist discourse of the Justice and Development Party and provides a content analysis of campaign speeches between 2015 and 2018. We posit that the linkage between populism and fear derives from two frames, victimization and blaming, appealing to perceived threat and insecurity that deepens the construction of 'us-vs-them' group differentiation. We argue that the AKP's campaign in the 2015 elections frames security, value, and competing narratives by emphasizing terrorism, clashes with the 'others', and the opposition's lack of capacity to rule. Their campaign in the 2017 referendum articulates a crisis and issue-based narrative over the coup attempt and constitutional amendments, and the 2018 campaign featured an issue, value, and security-based narrative. The findings show various continuities and changes in the AKP narratives based on exploiting citizens' threat perceptions, with broad fear-based narratives remaining constant while the specifics of the threat adapt to the political atmosphere of the time.
