THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RISING NATIONALISM, MIGRATION AND TERRORISM IN EUROPE: A CONCEPTUAL ANALYSIS

Öz

This study aims to analyse the rising nationalist movements in Europe from a conceptual point of view by focusing on the concepts of migration and terrorism. In this context, it analyses how the concept of migration and its movements are perceived within Europe and the European Union in a way to feed security concerns. Analysing the increasing terrorist incidents in Europe not only from a security perspective but also in the light of different but interconnected concepts such as migration and nationalism will enable an understanding of situations such as the risk of marginalisation of migrants, states’ perception of migration as a threat and the implementation of harsh migration policies accordingly. The study takes Europe and the European Union as a geographical constraint and takes the terrorist act of 2001 as a turning point, which gave rise to a new perspective for many concepts. Specific to this turning point, it is accepted that there is a connection between terrorist acts in Europe and the phenomenon of migration, which also has a projection of the concept of nationalism, and this argument is supported by the literature review.

AVRUPA’DA YÜKSELEN MİLLİYETÇİLİK, GÖÇ VE TERÖRİZM ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİ: KAVRAMSAL BİR ANALİZ

Öz

Bu çalışma, Avrupa’da yükselişe geçen milliyetçilik mefhumunu, göç ve terör kavramlarını da merkezine alarak kavramsal açıdan analiz etmeyi hedeflemektedir. Bu bağlamda, göç kavramının ve hareketlerinin Avrupa içerisinde ve Avrupa Birliği nezdinde güvenlik endişelerini de besleyecek şekilde nasıl algılandığı analiz edilmektedir. Avrupa artış gösteren terör olaylarının, yalnızca güvenlik perspektifinden değil; göç ve milliyetçilik gibi farklı, fakat birbiriyle bağlantılı kavramların ışında incelenmesi göçmenlerin marjinalleşme riski, devletlerin göçü bir tehdit olarak değerlendirmesi ve buna bağlı olarak sert göç politikaları uygulaması gibi durumların da anlaşılmasına olanak sağlayacaktır. Çalışma, Avrupa ve Avrupa Birliği’ni bir coğrafi kısıt olarak belirleyerek, özellikle 2001 yılında gerçekleşen ve birçok konsept için yeni bir perspektif doğuran terör eylemini bir dönüm noktası olarak almıştır. Bu dönüm noktası özelinde, Avrupa’daki terör eylemleri ile göç olgusu arasında milliyetçilik kavramının da izdüşümünü taşıyan bir bağlantı olduğu kabul edilmiş ve literatür taraması ile bu sav desteklenmiştir.
