Abstract

Bu makalede göçün güvenlikleştirilmesinin popülist radikal sağ partiler için 2015 ‘göç krizi’ sonrası temel bağlayıcı unsur olarak rolü ve bu partilerin özellikle 2019 Avrupa Parlamentosu seçimlerinde giderek artan etkileri incelenmektedir. Makalede ilk olarak Soğuk Savaş sonrası ortaya çıkan yeni güvenlik tehditleri, sonrasında, populist radikal sağ partilerin bu güvenlikleştirilme sürecindeki rolü ve
Avrupa siyasetinde artan etkileri tartışılmaktadır. Göçün güvenlikleştirilmesi analizi, National Rally (NR), League ve Alternative for Germany (AfD) gibi popülist radikal sağ partilerin 2019’da son Avrupa Parlamentosu seçimleri öncesi liderlerinin siyasi söylemleri, kampanya süreçleri ve performanslarının karşılaştırmalı analizi yapılarak incelenmektedir

SECURITIZATION OF MIGRATION AND THE RISING INFLUENCE OF POPULIST RADICAL RIGHT PARTIES IN EUROPEAN POLITICS

Abstract

This article addresses the role of securitization of migration as the main binding factor for the populist radical right parties after the so-called ‘migration crisis’ and their increasing influence in the 2019 European Parliament elections. Firstly the formation of new security threats after the end of the Cold War is analysed. Secondly, the role of populist radical right parties in securitization of
migration and their rising influence in European politics are discussed. This claim is supported by a comparative analysis of three populist radical right parties: National Rally (NR), the League, and the Alternative for Germany (AfD) by focusing on the rhetoric used by their leaders, their electoral campaigns and performance in the last European elections in 2019.
