BREXIT VE AVRUPA’DA POPÜLİST RADİKAL SAĞIN YÜKSELİŞİ

Öz

Ekonomik kriz ve göç krizi gibi son yıllarda AB projesinin karşılaştığı en büyük zorluklardan biri Brexit sürecidir. Brexit, Avrupa entegrasyon tarihindeki önemli dönüm noktalarından biridir. Bu makalede Brexit, yükselen popülizm ve radikal sağın bir yansıması olarak değerlendirilmektedir. İlk olarak, Birleşik Krallık’ta Avrupa şüpheciliğinin özellikle de Birleşik Krallık Bağımsızlık Partisi (UKIP)’in Brexit sürecindeki rolü incelendikten sonra, yükselen popülizm ve radikal sağın Brexit referandum kampanya sürecindeki söylemlere, politikalara ve referandum sonucuna yansımaları tartışılmaktadır.

In this article rising populism and radical right are taken into consideration and Brexit is analysed as a reflection of these tendencies. Firstly, the role of Euroscepticism in the UK, especially the role of UK Independence Party (UKIP) in the Brexit process is analysed. Secondly the role of rising populism and radical right in the discourse and policies during the referendum campaign process and their influence in the results of the referendum are discussed.
