  • Radicalisation in competitive authoritarian contexts: Visualising refugees with DIY media

    Hasret Dikici Bilgin, Umut Korkut et al.ARTICLEVisual Studies2023References: 55

    This article focuses on how visual media interacts with the government practices in competitive authoritarian regimes. We argue that while the visual representation of refugees can in general mainstream radicalisation, it gains additional traction in authoritarian context as it streams political discontent away from the governments to ‘ungrateful’ refugees. The paper is built on an analysis of do-it-yourself (DIY) videos in Turkey and Hungary in …

  • Congruence in Proportional Representation Systems: Non‐Economic Issue Salience and Coalition Formation

    Open AccessOzge Kemahlioglu, Hasret Dikici BilginARTICLESwiss Political Science Review2022Cited by: 1References: 70

    This article contributes to our understanding of democratic representation by analyzing government congruence – the gap between the positions of the government and the median voter – within proportional representation systems. Analyzing elections in non‐post‐communist, democratic OECD countries in the post‐war period until 2014, we argue and show that the salience of non‐economic issues such as national way of life and migration led to ideologica…

  • Süslüman: On class and gender issues in contemporary Turkish political Islam

    Open AccessHasret Dikici BilginARTICLETurkish Studies2021Cited by: 2References: 9

    This article argues that class divisions within Islamist community are an emerging aspect of contemporary Turkish politics. Nearly two decades of rule by an Islamist party enabled the Islamic capital to become a distinct capital fraction without improving the living conditions of the devout masses substantially. This fault line appears in the increasingly discernible criticism of the everyday lifestyles of rich Muslim women from within. Controver…

  • Revisiting the moderation controversy with space and class: The Tunisian Ennahda

    Hasret Dikici BilginARTICLEThird World Quarterly2021Cited by: 3References: 58

    What shapes political parties’ direction of change on the political spectrum? Under what conditions do Islamist movements moderate or shift towards a more radical stance? Drawing on the case of the Ennahda Party in Tunisia, I argue that transformation of the Islamist parties should be analysed on par with that of the secular parties, by focussing on the parties’ popular base and the target electorate rather than through a moderation–radicalisatio…

  • Obscurities of a Referendum Foretold: The 2017 Constitutional Amendments in Turkey

    Open AccessHasret Dikici Bilgin, Emre ErdoğanARTICLEReview of Middle East Studies2018

    The 2017 referendum marked a transition from an already incongruous parliamentary system to rampant presidentialism and created more conflicts rather than defusing them. Given the extraordinary conditions under which the referendum was held, and the limited time allowed for discussion of its possible ramifications, any effort to analyze the eve and aftermath of the referendum provoked more questions than answers. Why was the referendum held in 20…

  • Westernist sceptics and anti-western reformers in the Turkish party system

    Hasret Dikici BilginARTICLEJournal of Balkan and Near…2017

    This paper focuses on the Turkish political parties’ attitudes towards the country’s European Union (EU) membership. It intends to analyse the concerns and demands of the political parties as the parliamentary debates shape government policies. The paper considers the parties’ positions in the parliamentary power matrix (incumbency or opposition), their ideological tendencies and electoral concerns; and their relations with the social classes, al…

  • Types of outcomes in factional rivalries: Lessons from non-democratic parties in Turkey

    Open AccessPelin Ayan Musil, Hasret Dikici BilginARTICLEInternational Political Science…2016Cited by: 6References: 32

    In non-democratic parties, oppositional factions have difficulty making inroads to the top executive party organs. There are two consequences for these groups: party split or leadership removal. In the former case, the oppositional faction exits and establishes its own party. In the latter, the opposition succeeds in altering the balance of power by removing the leader and the party goes through change. This article suggests that the level of pow…

  • Foreign Policy Orientation of Turkey’s Pro‐Islamist Parties: A Comparative Study of the AKP and Refah

    Open AccessHasret Dikici BilginARTICLETurkish Studies2008Cited by: 6

    This study aims to discuss the foreign policies of the pro‐Islamist parties in Turkey by comparing the party programs and policies of the Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi) and the Welfare Party (Refah Partisi). By focusing on programs and policies separately, it is argued that pro‐Islamist elements in the establishment and program of the parties do not necessarily translate to actual policies, particularly in foreign affa…
