Popülist retorik, aşırı sağın yükselişi ve Türkiye örneği

Öz

Bu makale, Almanya, Hollanda, Fransa, Belçika, İsveç, Danimarka, Finlandiya, İtalya ve Avusturya’ya odaklanarak popülist liderlerin, partilerin ve hareketlerin Avrupa’daki demokratik rejimlerin istikrarı üzerindeki uzun vadeli etkilerini incelemektedir. Makalede göçle ilgili popülist anlatıların milliyetçiliği ve aşırı sağ ideolojileri nasıl körüklediği ve popülist partilerin önemli seçim kazanımlarına odaklanılmaktadır. Bu gelişmeler, azınlık haklarının erozyona uğraması, demokratik sistemlerde dalgalanmaların ortaya çıkması ve yabancı düşmanı söylemin yaygınlaşmasıyla ilgili endişeleri arttırmaktadır. Tartışma, 2011’den bu yana Suriye’den kitlesel göçün benzer popülist duyguları beslediği Türkiye’yi de kapsamakta olup Prof. Dr. Ümit Özdağ’ın Zafer Partisi’nin 2021’deki yükselişiyle örneklenen söylemler irdelenmektedir. Makalede, uzun süredir devam eden kapsamlı akademik araştırmalara acil ihtiyaç vurgulanmaktadır. Popülist söylemin sosyal uyum ve siyasi istikrar açısından sonuçları. Türkiye gibi yeni ve farklı göç dinamiklerine sahip ülkelerde bu tür çalışmaların eksikliği, popülist tehditlerin gelecekte ortaya çıkaracağı zorlukların nasıl ele alınacağı literatürde ve politikadaki önemli konu başlıkları olarak öne çıkmaktadır.

Populist Rhetoric, Rise of Far-Right and the Turkish Case

Öz

This article examines the long-term impacts of populist leaders, parties and movements on the stability of democratic regimes in Europe, focusing on Germany, the Netherlands, France, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Italy, and Austria. It highlights how populist narratives, particularly around immigration, have stoked nationalism and far-right ideologies, leading to significant electoral gains for populist parties. These developments raise concerns about the erosion of minority rights, the introduction of volatility into democratic systems, and the mainstreaming of xenophobic rhetoric. The discussion also extends to Türkiye, where mass immigration from Syria since 2011 has fostered similar populist sentiments, exemplified by the rise of Prof. Dr. Ümit Özdağ’s Victory Party in 2021. The article stresses the urgent need for comprehensive academic research on the long-term implications of populist rhetoric for social cohesion and political stability. The lack of such studies, especially in countries with new immigration dynamics like Turkey, represents a significant gap in our understanding of how to address future challenges posed by populist threats.
