‘Maltrust’
Political trust is often treated as a democratic asset. In backsliding regimes, however, it can shield contested institutions from accountability. This article introduces maltrust: normatively insulated confidence in institutions whose procedural commitments are disputed. Using national survey data from Turkey, it examines trust in the Supreme Election Council (YSK). Liberal-democratic commitments predict lower trust among opposition supporters b…
Bridging the Divide
For several reasons, trust in science in recent years has eroded, throwing serious doubts on once-reliable scientific resources. Although multiple scientific disciplines try to explain the causes and consequences of this worrying decline, we have only scant knowledge about these disciplines’ interconnected arguments. Focusing on this niche, this study aims to bridge the literature from diverse academic disciplines and identify dominant themes by …
From the Ground Up
This study explores the relationship between political trust and citizen participation in grassroots movements during crises, focusing on the 2023 Turkey earthquakes. The disaster highlighted governmental actions and the critical role of grassroots organisations in disaster response. Using data from a representative survey of 1204 participants conducted 2 months post earthquake, the study examines how political trust and ideological orientation i…

How Do Religions and Religiosity Matter for Climate Anxiety
During the last decade, the discussions about climate change have evolved beyond technical and technological debates, and politicians and religious leaders have started to acknowledge the complexity of the matter more frequently than ever. These discussions aptly underlined the inadequacy of the offered technical solutions to problems due to climate change, which are bound to social and psychological barriers and evaluated through the lenses of e…
Social media use and political participation
The freedom of media is an essential component for democratic settings; however, in some contexts, citizens experience several barriers to enjoy this right in full. Replacing conventional media channels, social media is becoming an indispensable medium to express and discuss politics in such environments. Yet, there is little consensus in the literature about how social media relates to offline political participation, especially in settings wher…
How citizens attribute blame for electoral violence
Recent work on elections in unconsolidated democracies and electoral authoritarian states has identified violence a problem that commonly afflicts electoral processes. Yet there is still little understanding of citizen reactions to violent acts and how voters attribute blame for attacks, intimidation, forceful obstruction of campaign activities and other violations of electoral peace. This paper aims to add to the growing micro-level literature o…
The peculiar personality of strongmen
The personality of political leaders matters for their electoral success and performance once in office. Yet, we still know too little about the personality profiles of leaders worldwide. In this article, we focus on the profile of a particular type of leader, central to contemporary warnings about ‘democratic backsliding’: strongmen. Who are they? Much has been written about their behaviour and policies, but little attention has been granted to …
Framing electoral impropriety
Concerns about electoral integrity have increasingly become the focus of political science analysis in recent years, but there has been very little systematic research on the strategic use of allegations of electoral wrong-doing for political advantage. Drawing on the literatures on legitimacy and electoral integrity, this paper develops a theoretical perspective on the strategic use of allegations of electoral impropriety for electoral ends, whi…
Who are the targets of familial electoral coercion? Evidence from Turkey
The unfettered expression of electoral choice is an important democratic right; however in many contexts voters are pressured by others to cast their votes in certain ways. Electoral coercion is a topic that has received increased attention from researchers in recent years as part of the wave of research on electoral violence, yet there is little consensus in the literature as to who the targets of coercion are most likely to be. This paper uses …

How to run the show? The differential effects of negative campaigning
Although the academic literature on negative campaigning is growing, more research is needed to contribute to the theoretical and empirical knowledge on the phenomenon. Accordingly, this article examines the impact of negative political messages on political trust in Turkey. The findings indicate that although exposure to negativity alters the trust level of the citizens, this impact is not uniform and dependent on party identifications
Negative Campaigning in Turkish Elections
The academic literature on negative campaigning is growing. As an attempt to contribute to the theoretical and empirical knowledge on the phenomena, this study focuses on the Turkish elections and tries to provide answers to the following research questions: What is the level of negativity in Turkish electoral campaigns and which factors are salient for going negative for Turkish political parties? Findings display the fact that negativity is not…
Piecrust Promises
Despite major differences among political systems, one can conduct new research on pledge fulfillment by examining previously ignored cases. Accordingly, this article extends the literature by developing a new analysis for the Turkish context. The main contribution of this paper is the introduction of explicit models, which evaluate political pledges and their fulfillment by using an original data set. In particular, this study reveals the follow…

Understanding the Role of Civil Society as an Agent for Democratic Consolidation
This study is an analysis of the contribution of civil society to democratic consolidation in Turkey. It will try to understand this problem by assessing civil society’s formal structure, legal framework, and internal values, as well as its impact during the consolidation process. While doing so, this study will base itself on a combination of theories that link civil society to democratic consolidation with an empirical tool for the assessment o…
