THE PARTYING PROCESS OF TURKISH NATIONALISM: NATIONALIST PARTIES IN TURKEY FROM CKMP TO THE IYI PARTY

Summary/Abstract: The nationalism movement, which emerged with the French Revolution and affected a significant part of the world afterwards, also affected the Ottoman Empire. In the Republic of Turkey, which was established after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, the nationalism movement manifested itself as a nation-state consciousness. The emphasis on the concepts of "Turk" and "nation" appears as a nationalist indicator in this sense. In the Turkish political life of the Republican period, many parties were established and aspired to government. These parties emerged with the unification of certain social segments and were generally the representatives of an ideological movement. Political parties based on left, right, liberal, religion, and nationality have carried out political activities. In this study, the historical flow and comparisons regarding the parties that accepted Turkish nationalism as a starting point in multi-party democratic life or were positioned in the context of Turkish nationalism by social segments and the process of party formation are included. The first, discusses the emergence of the concept of nationalism, its definitions, and the theoretical framework for nationalist movements in Turkey. Various definitions of the concept are offered and there are different evaluations regarding its origins. In this context, the enrichment of nationalism in relation to concepts such as citizenship, patriotism, ethnicism, xenophobia, and chauvinism is emphasized, and the views that Germany, England or France is the cradle of nationalism are included. In this regard, after the historical development processes of CMKP, MHP, BBP, and İYİ Party are provided, analysis and comparisons are made. In the evaluation phase, comparisons and evaluations are made regarding the parties that stand out with an emphasis on nationalism in Turkey and the parties that are perceived as nationalist.
