Drawing on data collected by the Comparative Manifesto Project, and election outcomes in Turkey from 1961 to 2011, our study revealed that even though political parties' emphases on democracy, economy, political culture, society and justice, extreme issues such as nationalism influence niche party success to a certain degree, it is the center-party position that effects electoral outcomes primarily.

Abstract

This paper examines niche party success in Turkey by clustering issue emphases by political parties. Lack of a comprehensive analysis on niche parties in developing world, lack of a consensus on the measurement of niche parties, and even lack of a shared definition on the issue makes the related literature vaporous. In this article, I argue that the ideological position (center vs radical) of a party is much more important than policy emphases for electoral success. Drawing on data collected by the Comparative Manifesto Project, and election outcomes in Turkey from 1961 to 2011, our study revealed that even though political parties' emphases on democracy, economy, political culture, society and justice, extreme issues such as nationalism influence niche party success to a certain degree, it is the center-party position that effects electoral outcomes primarily.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, siyasi partilerin politik konulara vurguları kümelenerek, Türkiye'deki niş (hucre) partilerin başarısı incelenmektedir. Gelişmekte olan ülkelerdeki niş partilerin başarısı ile ilgili kapsamlı çalışmaların yetersizliği, niş partilerin ölçümü ile ilgili bir uzlaşının olmaması, ve hatta niş partilerin tanımı konusunda bile ortak bir tutumun olmaması, bu alandaki literatürü muğlak ve yetersiz kılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, partilerin idelojik duruşlarının, politika vurgularından çok daha önemli olduğu tartışılmaktadır. Karşılaştırmalı Manifesto Projesi'nin (CMP) verilerinden ve Türkiye'deki 1961 ve 2011 yılları arasındaki ulusal seçim sonuçlarından faydalanılarak, bu çalışmada, siyasi partilerin, manifestolarındaki demokrasi, ekonomi, siyasi kültür, toplum ve adalet, ve ekstrem meselelere (milliyetçilik gibi) yaptıkları vurguların seçim sonuçlarına etkisinin olduğu, ancak seçim başarısını asıl belirleyen faktörün, partilerin merkez-radikal parti konumunda bulunmalarının olduğu ortaya konulmuştur.
