Abstract

In the recent years, populism has become a dominant theme in world politics especially through the debates around the issues like Brexit or 2016 US elections. Despite a number of studies exploring the phenomenon, the literature on populism remains highly fragmented due to the lack of a conceptual framework to start the analysis with a tendency to generate too many populisms (e.g. authoritarian populism, neopopulism, third-world populism). This article starts with this puzzling development in the literature and aims to provide a framework that is applicable to the cases of populism via differentiating strategies of populism from its core features. The article argues that there is no need to invent new populisms in each and every case, but a need to map the concept by referring to the core features of populism and strategies available for the usage by populist politicians.

Özet

Son yıllarda uluslararası siyasette oldukça baskın bir yer edinmiş popülizm Brexit veya 2016 Amerikan seçimleri gibi tartışmalı olaylarla daha da öne çıkmıştır. Bu fenomeni inceleyen bir çok çalışma yapılmasına rağmen, popülizm üzerine literatür gittikçe dağınık bir hal almıştır ki bunun nedeni de analize başlamak için gereken kavramsal çerçevenin olmaması ve bunun yanı sıra literatürdeki farklı popülizm çeşitleri üretme eğilimidir. Bu durumdan hareketle bu makale alanda geçerli olabilecek bir kavramsal çerçeve oluşturmayı hedeflemektedir. Makale her vaka için farklı bir popülizm kavramsallaştırılmasının yerine, kavramın ana özellikleri ve popülist siyasetçilerin kullanımında olan stratejilerinin ayrımının yapılması gerektiğini ileri sürmektedir.
