The ArgumenTNationalism is one of the most enduring themes of Turkish politics, but it is by no means static.This study aims to explore one of its most salient recent mutations, neo-nationalism.It will explore its historical roots and relations with traditional currents of Turkish nationalism, as well as its domestic and foreign-policy implications.The Ergenekon affair is examined as a case demonstrating the strength of the neo-nationalist movement as well as the threat that it could pose for Turkish democracy.This study argues that ulusalclk is distinct from traditional versions of nationalism, as it simultaneously claims loyalty to Kemalist orthodoxy and opposes Turkey's Westernization.As strict ideological divisions that caused serious clashes during the 1970s dissipated in the aftermath of the Cold War, it became possible for leftist and rightist forces to collaborate to avert what they see as the biggest threat, Turkey's European integration.It also comprises an interesting example of how "uncivil society," 2 which opposes globalization, often benefits from it and adjusts its message and operating methods to new social and economic circumstances
