Negotiating traditional and Western values in social media: A critical discourse analysis of Kazakhstani influencers’ content
This study examines how Kazakhstani social media influencers negotiate tensions between traditional Kazakh norms and Western liberal value repertoires in their digital content. It asks: (1) what discursive strategies influencers use to navigate competing value systems; (2) in which domains (gender roles, sexuality, consumption, and religiosity) value conflict is most visible; and (3) how audiences respond to and participate in these negotiations.…

The twelve contributions are organized around four interrelated…
Introduction: Social movements and radicalisation in Europe
This Special Issue (SI) provides a nuanced understanding of the root causes of radicalisation among European youth with both nativist and religious affiliations. The contributions challenge the civilisational paradigm and the reductionist interpretations that often conflate it with extremism, terrorism, and violence. Our contributors contend that the rise of populist rhetoric across Europe, alongside the notable strengthening of grassroots resist…
Deconstructing migration studies and identity studies: The need for an alternative scientific lens
In the post-war era, European political competition primarily focused on socio-economic issues such as employment, wages, taxation, social rights, and the development of the welfare state. However, in the 1990s, there was an unfortunate shift in the centre of political competition from material concerns to non-material and cultural aspects. The prominence of identity politics has surged, leading to an increased emphasis on the study of identities…

Nativist and Islamist Radicalism: Anger and Anxiety

Diaspora politics and religious diplomacy in Turkey and Morocco
This article aims to analyse the importance of diaspora politics and Islam in Turkey and Morocco. The main premise of the article is that both states have increasingly relied on diaspora politics and religious diplomacy to attain both domestic and foreign policy gains. Using a Most Different Systems Design (MDSD), this article first examines each country’s political framework to determine how diaspora politics and foreign policies are outlined. T…
The Neoliberal Face of the ‘Local Turn’ in Governance of Refugees in Turkey: Participatory Action Research in Karacabey, Bursa
Political drivers of Muslim youth radicalisation in France: Religious radicalism as a response to nativism
A substantial literature has developed around the individual determinants of radical political preferences. Widely used to study electoral support for far-right parties, this perspective has rarely been mobilised to understand the dynamics of radicalisation, or the process of going back to the ‘roots’, among fractions of Western Muslim youth involved in political Islam. To address this, 37 semi-structured interviews were conducted between 2020 an…

Home-State Politics Vis-à-Vis Turkish Emigrants: Instrumentalizing Emigrants
This article scrutinizes the ways in which Turkish state actors have shaped the social ecosophy of emigrants and their descendants residing in Europe. Describing the Turkish state’s perspectives toward emigrants reveals that Turkish state actors always have instrumentalized emigrants since the beginning of the migratory processes in the 1960s. The focus will be on the current Turkish government’s acts and policies, which are likely to contribute …

By cooperating with novice…
Co-radicalisation of Islamist and Nativist Extremists in Europe: A Social-psychological and Sociological Perspective
A vast amount of social science research has been dedicated to the study of Islamist extremism – in particular, to uncover its psychological and structural drivers. However, the recent revival of extreme-right extremism points to the need to investigate this re-emerging phenomenon. This article highlights some of the characteristics of the extremisation of Islamism in Europe in parallel with the rise of the extremisation of right-wing extremist g…
Islamist and Nativist Reactionary Radicalisation in Europe
In this article, the term “radicalisation” is discussed as a process that appears to be a defensive and reactionary response of various individuals suffering from social, economic, and political forms of exclusion, subordination, alienation, humiliation, and isolation. To that effect, the article challenges the mainstream understanding of radicalisation. In doing so, the work concentrates on the elaboration of reactionary radicalisation processes…
The use of the past by the Alternative for Germany and the Front National: Heritage populism, Ostalgia and Jeanne D’Arc
Right-wing populist parties and their supporters in Europe who are exposed to the ambiguities of the present are more likely to assemble their futures with a retrospective understanding, which essentializes the past, myths, and local history, the repertoire of which is often very rich. Alternative for Germany (AfD) and Front National (FN) are two right-wing populist parties that successfully exploit the past in mainstreaming their political proje…
Politics of Subsidiarity in Refugee Reception: Comparative Perspectives
This Special Issue brings together articles concentrating on the politics of subsidiarity in relation to deterrence and dispersal, the involvement of non-state actors and the role of social workers and street level bureaucrats in the local implementation of reception policies. Based on empirical research, we address politics and practices of refugee reception from the vantage point of the politics of subsidiarity, which refers to the delegation o…
We can’t integrate in Europe. We will pay a high price if we go there’: Culture, Time and Migration Aspirations for Syrian Refugees in Istanbul
In popular media, it is often assumed that Syrian refugees wish to reach Europe by any means necessary but, during field research in 2018, we found that many Syrians hoped to remain in Istanbul, despite their tenuous legal and social situation. The article examines how migrants established cultural intimacy and strong community social networks over time, and became increasingly sceptical about the life they imagined they would have in Europe. Add…
Populism and heritage in Turkey
Chapter 7 outlines the establishment and rise of the Justice and Development Party (JDP) in the aftermath of a deep financial crisis hitting Turkey in 2001. It portrays the JDP as a conservative right-wing populist party efficiently using imperial heritage, religion, and myths in mobilizing masses. As a political party established and prospering in a period of time when the civilizational discourse has flourished on a global scale in the 2000s, i…
Populism and heritage
Chapter 1 provides a number of approaches to be used in analysing contemporary populism in Europe: anti-globalization approach, the anti-elitist approach, and populism as a political style approach. After explaining the merits of each approach, the last one is analysed in detail to illuminate the impact of the political style of right-wing populist leaders on the mobilization of masses in Europe, and elsewhere. Depicting the commonalities of popu…
Populism and heritage in the Netherlands
Demonstrating the popularity of right-wing populism in the Netherlands since 9/11, Chapter 4 elaborates the national social-political context mainstreaming the List Pim Fortuyn (LPF), Party for Freedom (PVV), and now Forum for Democracy (FvD). Specifically focusing on the PVV, this Chapter reveals how the party attracts more and more followers by bashing Islam, multiculturalism and EU. The PVV has mainstreamed itself by attracting more women and …
Populism and heritage in Greece
Chapter 6 gives a detailed historical account of Greek populism since the end of the military junta in 1974. It illuminates that the first far-right Greek populist parties emerged as a reaction to the policies adopted by the conservative government of Constantine Karamanlis towards junta officials, the king and communists. The principal discourse of such far-right parties has so far been based on the idea of protecting ‘the Helleno-Christian trad…
Populism and heritage in Italy
Chapter 5 elaborates the sources of the popularity of the Five Star Movement (M5S), which is a new member of the family of populist parties in Italy. Although it was established immediately after the eruption of global financial crisis in 2008, M5S is now the major party in the coalition government formed in 2018 with another right-wing Populist Party, Lega , run by Matteo Salvini. This Chapter comprehensively explains how the financial crisis le…
Populism and heritage in France
Chapter 2 demonstrates that Marine Le Pen has mainstreamed the Front National in France by successfully using the republican heritage, colonial heritage, civilizational discourse, laicism, Euroscepticism and anti-multiculturalism. Based on the legacy of French colonialism in North Africa, the FN has been through a remarkable transformation since Marine Le Pen took over. This Chapter shows that more and more female and young people have become dra…
Conclusion
Conclusion Chapter encapsulates the findings of the research. It concludes that populism is not a disease, but a symptom of a number of structural constraints which have been so far been neglected, or overlooked, by mainstream political parties in power during the last three decades or so. The picture appears to be much more complex than just being a political anomaly, which needs to be cured. It is a rather systemic problem with much deeper caus…
Populism and heritage in Germany
Chapter 3 delineates the ways in which multiculturalism in Germany has been publicly criticized over the last two decades by mainstream right-wing circles, with a very strong anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant discourse. Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) have capitalized on such a number of already existing Islamophobic and anti-migrant sentiments, as well as on Eurosceptic feelings, to mainstream itself. The source of the AfD’s popularity in eastern…

Sicher in Kreuzberg: Constructing Diasporas: Turkish Hip-Hop Youth in Berlin
This book examines the construction and articulation of diasporic cultural identity among the Turkish working-class youth in Kreuzberg (Little Istanbul), Berlin. This work primarily suggests that the contemporary diasporic consciousness is built on two antithetical axes: particularism and universalism. The presence of this dichotomy derives from the unresolved historical dialogues that the diasporic youths experience between continuity and disrup…
Populism and Heritage in Europe: Lost in Diversity and Unity
Populism and Heritage in Europe explores popular discourses about European and national heritage that are being used by specific political actors to advance their agendas and to prevent minority groups from being accepted into European society. Investigating what kind of effect the politics of fear has on these notions of heritage and identity, the book also examines what kind of impact recent events and crises have had on the types of European m…
Europe versus Islam: Right-Wing Populist Discourse and the Construction of a Civilizational Identity
This article reveals the ways in which five populist parties in Europe (AfD in Germany, FN in France, PVV in the Netherlands, M5S in Italy, and Golden Dawn in Greece) employ the fear of Islam as a political instrument to mobilize their supporters and to mainstream themselves. The study is conducted through a discourse analysis of the speeches and manifestos of the aforementioned parties. Following the depiction of each political party, the articl…
Aesthetics of diaspora: Contemporary minstrels in Turkish Berlin
The process of identity formation of the Turkish hip-hop youth in Berlin is a constant negotiation between past and future, 'roots' and 'routes', local and global, home and diaspora. German-Turkish youth in general are socially conscious and critical of the increasing discrimination, segregation, exclusion and racism in society. These new syncretic forms of expressive minority youth cultures expose a social movement of urban youth that already ha…
Multicultural Clientelism and Alevi Resurgence in the Turkish Diaspora: Berlin Alevis
This paper will concentrate primarily on the currentAleviresurgence in Berlin. While exposing the principal driving forces behind the resurgence of Alevism, three crucial aspects will be underlined. Firstly, it will be argued that Alevi resurgence in Berlin partly derives from the institutional structure of Berlin, which has “minoritised” and ethnicised Alevis in time throughAusländergesetz(Foreigners’ Law) and an ideology of multiculturalism. Se…

Istanbul as a Space of Cultural Affinity for Syrian Refugees: “Istanbul is Safe despite Everything!”
The research question to be answered in this paper is to what extent Istanbul provides Syrian refugees with a feeling of security and safety despite the practical difficulties of everyday life such as working conditions, exclusion, xenophobia and exploitation. The main premise of the paper is that historical, cultural and religious forms of affinity are likely to particularly attach the Sunni Muslim Arab Syrians originating from Aleppo province t…

Populism in Turkey and France: Nativism, multiculturalism and Euroskepticism
Based on the findings of fieldwork conducted in the spring of 2017 with the supporters of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) in Istanbul and the supporters of the National Front (FN) in Toulon and other French cities, this article aims to compare the ways in which both groups highlight nativist, anti-multiculturalist and Eurosceptic positionalities. Having a republican and laicist legacy, both states have similar paths in terms of state-buil…

Cultural reification in circassian diaspora: Stereotypes, Prejudices and Ethnic Relations
Contemporary diaspora identities differ to a certain extent from conventional forms of diasporic formations in the sense that the former are no longer characterised by the overwhelming wish to return. Contemporary diasporas are built upon two principal pillars: modern communicative circuitry, and acts of exclusion by receiving societies. Deported by the Russians from their homeland in the last quarter of the nineteenth century, Circassian tribes …

It will be argued that German-Turks constitute a transnational space, makin…
Political Participation Strategies of the Circassian Diaspora in Turkey
This study is an attempt to summarize the political participation strategies generated by the Circassians in Turkey since the 1970s. In depicting those strategies, the institutional channelling theory shall be used. The relevance of this theory in comparison to the class and race/ethnicity theories is that it highlights the importance of the dominant political and legal institutions shaping and limiting the migrants' choice possibilities. The pri…

Europeanization of civil society in Turkey: Legacy of the #Occupygezi movement
As a clear depiction of unconventional forms of civic and political participation, the Occupygezi movement has revealed that a more comprehensive approach is needed to understand the deep socio-political drives underpinning the Turkish bid for EU membership. Focusing on three different framings, namely Euro-enthusiastic, Euro-sceptic and critical Europeanist frames, developed by civil society organizations in Turkey since the 1999 Helsinki Summit…

Les Français musulmans: Enquête Sur Une Rébellion Républicaine
Il est plus plausible d’interpréter les mouvements dans les banlieues, en 2005, ainsi que les précédents, non pas comme une série d’émeutes anti républicaines, mais plutôt comme un jugement critique du républicanisme concret et conservateur tel qu’il est pratiqué actuellement. Le langage populaire des émeutes n’a jamais été surtout religieux, ethnique ou centrifuge. Le langage de ces émeutes à répétitions depuis le début des années 1990 est plutô…

Des individus aux institutions: L’islam au sein des diasporas turques en Europe
En Europe, les relations que les immigrés turcs entretiennent avec l’islam suscitent de nombreuses interrogations. Repère culturel essentiel dans la construction d’identités en migration ? Choix idéologique et politique en réponse à la pression des institutions de pays laïques ? La religion musulmane se présente également chez les jeunes générations comme un levier paradoxal d’intégration. Pour apprécier la diversité des rapports entre des indivi…
Management of Ethno-Cultural Diversity in Turkey: Europeanization of Domestic Politics and New Challenges
Turkey has gone through an enormous process of change in the last decade, especially regarding the political recognition of ethno-cultural and religiously diverse groups. The term “diversity” has become one of the catch words of contemporary political philosophy. Diversity, in its recent forms, whether cultural, political, ethnic, or religious, is a byproduct of globalization. Globalization has made the movements of persons or groups in the ethno…

Backlash of multiculturalist and republicanist policies of integration in the age of securitization
This paper is critically engaged in the elaboration of the securitization and stigmatization of migration and Islam in the West, which is believed to be leading to the rise of Islamophobic sentiments and to the backlash of both multiculturalism and republicanism. Migration has been framed as a source of fear and instability for the nation-states in the West in a way that constructs ‘communities of fear’. It will be claimed that both securitizatio…
