Article Citation - WoS: 1Post-Truth Populism as an Emerging Electoral Strategy: The Case of Turkey's 2023 Elections(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Eldem, TubaThis article develops a new theoretical framework to explain how right-wing populist incumbents mobilise electoral support in competitive authoritarian regimes. It argues that post-truth populism, defined as the strategic fusion of securitised discourse and emotionally charged identity appeals with epistemic manipulation, enables populist leaders to shape the political battlefield through affective and symbolic narratives rather than policy content. Drawing on discourse analysis of President Recep Tayyip Erdo & gbreve;an's 2023 campaign in Turkey, the article shows how the ruling coalition reframed the elections as an existential struggle against internal and external enemies while simultaneously offering emotionally resonant promises of national revival. Rather than focus solely on institutional advantages or voter grievances, this study foregrounds the discursive agency of populist leaders and their ability to manufacture fear, pride and loyalty. By analysing how Erdo & gbreve;an's campaign displaced economic accountability with emotionally saturated, post-factual narratives, the article contributes to literatures on populism, post-truth politics and securitisation. It argues that the convergence of post-truth politics and populist securitisation forms a powerful mechanism for authoritarian endurance in hybrid regimes, transforming elections into moralised referenda on identity and national survival.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 1Political Discourse on Syrian Refugees in Turkey(Peter Lang AG, 2021) Yiğit, M.H.; Uyar, C.This chapter focuses on a comparative research investigation on how populist discourse and securitization on refugees are constituted by partners of political power. The analysis argues that refugees are instrumentalized in domestic/ foreign politics by exposure to exclusionary rhetoric by political parties in Turkey as of 2018. In the context of the research, the official political discourses and statements of five parties during 2018 general and 2019 local election campaigns, the election manifestos, and post-February 2020 Idlib incident were examined. The political parties are AKP, CHP, MHP, İYİ Party, and HDP. In this context, how and for what purposes refugees are securitized with populist rhetoric are examined accordingly. For this analysis, the usage and content of the terms “Syrian, " “refugee, " “immigrant, " “asylum, " and “under temporary protection” were investigated. © Peter Lang GmbH Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften Berlin 2021.
