Conference Object Book Part Conference Object Comparing Right-Wing Populist Parties’ Stance towards the Global Management of International Migration: Insights from Turkey and Hungary(2024) Saatçioğlu, BekenHow do ruling, right-wing populist parties approach the global management of international migration? This paper addresses this question by analyzing Hungary’s Fidesz and Turkey’s Justice and Development Party (AKP) in the context of the 2015 Syrian refugee crisis. It studies these parties’ discourses regarding the liberal international order (LIO) and the EU, and particularly, the latter’s proposed handling of the crisis. This fills a gap in the literature because ruling right-wing populist parties in middle-power states like Hungary and Turkey are seldom compared and the presence or absence of EU membership may make a difference in their arguments. The paper argues: (1) Fidesz and AKP selectively challenge the LIO and the EU within a populist foreign policy framework pitting “liberal, corrupt, global, EU elites” against the people (Christians for Fidesz, Syrian Muslim refugees for the AKP), (2) They differ because: (a) Fidesz’ challenges heavily focus on the EU while the AKP’s discourse extends to the global system and the UN, (b) Fidesz’ EU contestation revolves around the need to protect “Hungarian sovereignty” and “Christian European culture” from “Brussels elites” while AKP’s rhetoric primarily reflects expectations of satisfactory “transactionalism” from the EU.Book The Future of Eu-Turkey Relations: a Dynamic Association Framework Amidst Conflictual Cooperation(Istituto Affari Internazionali, 2019) Saatçioğlu, Beken; Tekin, Funda; Ekim, Sinan; Tocci, NathalieThe FEUTURE final synthesis paper accomplishes two principal aims. First, it synthesizes FEUTURE’s research findings that study EU-Turkey relations in the six thematic areas of politics, identity, economy, security, energy and migration, focusing on how their respective drivers generate different degrees of conflict and cooperation in the relationship. Based on this synthesis, it argues that the scenario of “conflictual cooperation” – where cooperation is likely to endure despite the prevalence of conflictual dynamics mostly emanating from politics – is set to define EU-Turkey relations in the foreseeable future. Second, it develops an institutional design for the future relationship which, given the fact that Turkey’s EU accession process has now become dormant, accepts conflict as an endemic feature of the relations but tries to mitigate it by deepening cooperation. Upon assessing differentiated integration models the EU follows with member- and non-member countries, the paper concludes that, as a result of geopolitical proximity as well as deepened, multifarious interactions over several centuries, the EU– Turkey relationship has become too complex and dynamic to be captured by any single such model. It thus suggests a new institutional framework, termed a “dynamic association”, that would be complementary to Turkey’s albeit stalled accession process. While being centered around a rules-based component represented by an upgraded EU-Turkey Customs Union agreement as a starting point, the association also includes more transactional dimensions of cooperation such as migration, security and energy. The paper concludes that conceptualized as such, the dynamic association promises to foster not only cooperative but also convergent trends between the EU and Turkey into and beyond the 2023 timeframe.Book Part AB'nin Geleceği(Orion Kitabevi, 2022) Saatçioğlu, BekenBu bölüm, geçmişten günümüze AB’nin geleceği sorunsalını ele almaktadır. Her ne kadar AB’nin kurumsal yapısı, değer ve amaçları, karar alma süreçleri ve bütünleşme alanları tüm üye devletler tarafından kabul edilmiş olan 2009 Lizbon Antlaşması ile belirlenmiş olsa da, Birlik’in iç yapısı, üye devletler üzerindeki yetkileri, ve güncel sorun ve krizleri çözme kapasitesi son dönemde özellikle sorgulanır hale gelmiştir. AB’nin geleceği konusunun kısa bir tarihçesinin ardından, bölüm, 2010 yılından beri süregelen AB’nin çoklu krizlerinin AB’nin geleceğine ve gelecek tartışmalarına olan etkilerini incelemektedir. Sonuç bölümünde ise, AB’nin içinden geçmekte olduğu sınamaların sonucunda gelecekte nasıl bir yöne doğru evrilebileceği konusu kısaca irdelenmektedir.Conference Object A Comparative Analysis of Ruling Right-wing Populism towards Globalization in the Context of Refugee Crises: The Cases of Turkey and Hungary(2023) Saatçioğlu, BekenHow do governing, right-wing populist parties in and outside the EU approach globalization on the issue of international migration? This paper addresses this question by focusing on Hungary’s Fidesz and Turkey’s Justice and Development Party (AKP) in the context of the 2015 Syrian refugee crisis. It studies the discourses of these parties and their leaders regarding the liberal international order and the EU, and evaluates whether EU membership makes a difference in these arguments. This fills a gap in the literature because how ruling right-wing populism in middle-power states like Hungary and Turkey challenges the global system, and what kind of globalization or de-globalization it asks for in the light of migration issues remains to be scrutinized. The paper argues: (1) Fidesz and AKP are both “selective globalizers” that still challenge globalization and the EU within a populist foreign policy framework pitting “liberal, corrupt, global, EU elites” against the people (Christians for Fidesz, Syrian Muslim refugees for the AKP), (2) They differ because: (a) Fidesz’ challenges heavily focus on the EU while the AKP’s discourse extends to the global system and its institutions (the UN), (b) Fidesz’ EU contestation revolves around the need to protect “Hungarian sovereignty” and “Christian European culture” from “Brussels elites” while AKP’s rhetoric primarily reflects expectations of satisfactory “transactionalism” from the EU.Article Turkey and the EU: Partners or Competitors in the Western Balkans?(2019) Saatçioğlu, BekenThe article analyzes EU-Turkey relations in the Western Balkans (WB) in an attempt to uncover the cooperation and conflict potential between the two in the region. Specifically, it assesses the extent to which Turkey can be considered a partner of the EU versus representing acompetitor or even an alternative to Brussels for the WB countries. It argues that positing Turkey as a proactive, alternative regional power seeking to expand its presence and influence in the region at the EU’s expense are overstated.Despite the EU’s damaged credibility in the pursuit of its enlargement policy, Turkey’s capabilities, incentives and foreign policy priorities simply fall short of producing a competitive “Turkish model/alternative” in the region. First, there are practical limits to Turkey’s regional power status, which is far from representing a realistic substitute for the WB countries’ Euro-Atlantic ties. In addition, despite the difficulties ahead, these countries still aspire for integration into European structures, which is also aligned with Turkey’s foreign policy interests. Second, limitations aside, gaining hegemony in the WB is not Ankara’s foreign policy priority given the urgency of multiple policy issues waiting to be tackled on all fronts. Third, from a Realpolitik standpoint, Turkey and the EU are expected to constructively engage to find solutions for common challenges such as migration, which concerns the WB as well.Book Part Ab'nin Mülteci Krizi: Normlar-çıkarlar Dikotomisi Üzerinden Ab'yi Yeniden Değerlendirmek(İktisadi Kalkınma Vakfı, 2017) Saatçioğlu, Beken2011 yılından beri devam etmekte olan Suriye iç savaşının en kritik sonuçlarından biri hiç şüphesiz yol açmış olduğu insani krizdir. Suriye halkının daha güvenli ve iyi bir yaşam için öncelikli olarak sınırdaş Türkiye topraklarına, zaman içinde ise artan biçimde Avrupa ülkelerine sığınma çabaları ile ortaya çıkan mülteci sorunu, İkinci Dünya Savaşı’ndan sonra Avrupa’nın en vahim insani krizi haline gelmiş, bundan dolayı da “Avrupa’nın mülteci krizi” olarak nitelendirilmiştir. 2015’in bahar aylarından itibaren Akdeniz ve Ege üzerinden Avrupa’ya sistematik mülteci akınının artışıyla derinleşen kriz, AB içinde çok ciddi bir kriz yönetimi ve koordinasyon sorununu da beraberinde getirmiştir. Avrupa Komisyonu ve Almanya önderliğinde, Avrupa ortak sığınma sisteminin reforme edilmesi ve mültecilerin belirli kotalar doğrultusunda mevcut Üye Devletlerde yeniden yerleştirilmesi esaslarına dayanarak geliştirilmeye çalışılan “Avrupa çözüm planı”, yerini zamanla krizin Türkiye gibi üçüncü ülkelere havale edilerek dışsallaştırılması yoluyla çözülmesi çabalarına bırakmıştır.Book Part Citation - WoS: 3Turkey's Eu Membership Process in the Aftermath of the Gezi Protests(Amsterdam Univ Press, 2015) Saatçioğlu, BekenIn May 2013, a small group of protesters made camp in Istanbul's Taksim Square, protesting the privatisation of what had long been a vibrant public space. When the police responded to the demonstration with brutality, the protests exploded in size and force, quickly becoming a massive statement of opposition to the Turkish regime. This book assembles a collection of field research, data, theoretical analyses, and cross-country comparisons to show the significance of the protests both within Turkey and throughout the world.Book Turkey and the European Union: Key Dynamics and Future Scenarios(Nomos, 2021) Saatçioğlu, Beken; Tekin, FundaThis volume studies the enduring complexity of EU–Turkey relations in all their thematic dimensions and with a view to offering future scenarios. It accomplishes three important aims. First, following a narratives analysis, the chapters analysing identity, politics, the economy, security, migration and energy identify the key dynamics that impact the relationship in these areas. Second, they evaluate how these drivers influence the three ideal-type future scenarios of convergence, cooperation and conflict, subsequently offering a relationship scenario for each thematic area. Third, the volume synthesises the chapters’ individual findings and argues that conflictual cooperation is the most likely scenario in future EU–Turkey relations.
