Abstract
Populism is one of the most referenced concepts in both economic and polit-ical analysis in the past decades but what is semantically controversial. The representation crisis and economic crises, in which politics in general and lib-eral democracy in particular, and the structural transformations brought along with these crises strengthened the tendency towards populism. Popu-lism, which has turned into a kind of shadow of democracy, is fed by the ten-sions between democracy and liberalism to a great extent.In this study, Populism was tackled as a form of discourse which enables to political actors to want to obtain power or protect the existing power by mo-bilising masses and the influence on Turkish politics was analysed. Based on the claim that every political movement is inherent, populism has been eval-uated both on the basisof power / opposition and on the right / left axis. For this purpose, speeches during 24th June presidential election that made by Recep Tayyip Erdoğan who was the candidate of the ruling party AKP (Justice and Development Party) that is representing the Turkey’s right-wing political axis and Muharrem İnce who was the candidate of the opposition party CHP (Republican People’s Party) that is representing the Turkey’s left-wing politi-cal axis, was examined by using Essex School Discourse Analysis method.
Özet
Popülizm, son on yıllarda gerek ekonomik gerekse politik analizlerde en fazla referans verilen, fakat anlamsal olarak neyi karşıladığı bir o kadar tartışmalı olan kavramlardan biridir. Genel olarak siyasetin ve özel olarak liberal demok-rasinin içine düştüğü temsil krizi ve ekonomik krizler ile bu krizlerin berabe-rinde getirdiği yapısal dönüşümler, popülizme olan yönelimi güçlendirmiştir. Demokrasinin bir tür gölgesine dönüşen popülizm, önemli ölçüde demokrasi ve liberalizm arasındaki gerilimlerden beslenmektedir. Bu çalışmada popülizm, iktidarı elde etmek veya mevcut iktidarını korumak isteyen siyasi aktörlerin kitleleri etkilemek adına kullandıkları bir söylem şekli olarak ele alınmış ve Türkiye siyasetine nasıl yansıdığı incelenmiştir. Her siyasi hareketin doğasında var olduğu iddiasından hareketle popülizm, hem ikti-dar/muhalefet temelinde, hem de sağ/sol eksende değerlendirilmiştir. Bu amaçla Türkiye sağını temsil eden iktidar partisi AKP’nin (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi) adayı Recep Tayyip Erdoğan ile Türkiye solunu temsil eden ana muha-lefet partisi CHP’nin (Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi) adayı Muharrem İnce’nin 24 Haziran Cumhurbaşkanlığı seçimleri sürecinde yaptıkları konuşmalar Essex Okulu Söylem Analizi yöntemiyle incelemiştir.
