Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Rethinking the Relationship Between Leader and Mass Through Political Theology(Ankara Haci Bayram veli Univ, 2019) Turk, H. Bahadir; Türk, Hasan Bahadır; Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkilerThis study aims to analyze the relationship between leader and mass through political theology. In so doing, the study is structured into two major sections. The first section focuses on the concept of political theology. The second section discusses the relationship between mass and leader from a historical perspective and with reference to political theory. The study argues that rethinking the relationship between mass and leader through political theology provides an opportunity to make sense of the nature of this relationship.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 14A Glance at the Constitutive Elements of the Leader-Centered Perspective in Turkish Politics(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017) Turk, H. Bahadir; Bahadir Türk, H.Leadership is a major aspect of Turkish politics; leaders in Turkish politics are regarded as either almost sacred figures or the ultimate reason for all political, social and economic problems. Leaders are seen as decision makers who have a significant impact on almost all aspects of life. It can be contended that a historical continuance toward the leader-centered perspective is present in Turkish politics. This paper aims to present a descriptive framework outlining the elements that constitute the leader-centered perspective in Turkish politics. To accomplish this goal, the paper presents two major arguments. It is argued that the constitutive elements of the leader-centered perspective in Turkish politics are a sui generis synthesis of patrimonialism, patriarchy, populism and militarism. Furthermore, this fourfold historical structure strengthens forms of charismatic leadership and can provide insight into the central role of leadership in Turkish politics.Article Citation - WoS: 34Citation - Scopus: 44'populism as a Medium of Mass Mobilization': the Case of Recep Tayyip Erdogan(Center int Area Studies, 2018) Turk, H. BahadirIt goes without saying that Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoan has put his mark on the last 14 years of Turkish politics. The main argument of this study is that the case of Recep Tayyip Erdoan provides an illustrative example to make sense of populism as a medium of mass mobilization. Furthermore, it is argued that Erdoan's leadership can be best understood by taking into account how he manages political crises. Accordingly, through the examples of 2007, 2013 and 2016, which mark critical periods in Turkish politics, the article attempts to highlight the major characteristics of Erdoan's populist leadership.
