Abstract

The main purpose of this article is to examine and discuss political strategies of three different political organizations -SYRIZA in Greece, 15M Movement/Indignados in Spain, and M5S/Five Stars Movement in Italy- which gained prominence during the debt crisis management processes in Southern Europe in the late 2000s and early 2010s. It particularly focuses upon alternative strategies framed or implied by them regarding the way out of the debt and legitimacy crises. It is argued that their emergence as important political actors have been indicative of the growing popular discontent against and search for alternatives to the framework drawn by the austerity agenda. Although a similar context has paved the ground for their rise, these three political actors have represented different political paths that can respectively be regarded as ‘radical reformism’, ‘positive/creative negation’ and ‘anti- politics’. The article also explains these strategies on the basis of how they have politicised the three broad sources of popular discontent: austerity policies (policy contents), parliamentary/ representative democracy (policy-making processes) and the representatives (policy-makers).

Özet

Bu makalenin temel amacı Güney Avrupa’da 2000’lerin sonları ve 2010’ların başlarında gerçekleşen borç krizi yönetim süreçlerinde ön plana çıkmış olan üç farklı siyasal örgütlenmenin - Yunanistan’da SYRIZA, İspanya’da 15 Mayıs Hareketi/Öfkeliler ve İtalya’da Beş Yıldız Hareketi’nin - siyasal stratejilerini incelemek ve tartışmaktır. Özel olarak makale bu siyasal aktörler tarafından çerçevelenen ve işaret edilen, borç ve meşruiyet krizinden çıkışa ilişkin alternatif stratejilere odaklanmaktadır. Önemli siyasal aktörler olarak ortaya çıkmalarının, kemer sıkma gündemince çizilen çerçeveye karşı artan genel hoşnutsuzluğun ve alternatif arayışlarının bir göstergesi olduğu iddia edilmektedir. Benzer bir bağlam yükselişlerine zemin hazırlamış olsa da bu üç siyasal aktör, sırasıyla, ‘radikal reformizm’, ‘yapıcı/yaratıcı reddiye’ ve ‘anti-siyaset’ olarak nitelendirilebilecek farklı siyasal izlekleri temsil etmektedirler. Makale ayrıca bu stratejileri, üç temel kaynağa yönelen toplumsal hoşnutsuzlukları ne şekilde siyasallaştırdıklarına odaklanarak açıklamaktadır. Bu kaynaklar kemer sıkma politikaları (politika içerikleri), parlamenter/temsili demokrasi (karar alma süreçleri) ve temsilciler (politika yapıcılar) olarak belirlenmektedir.
