Free Download War, Peace, and Populist Discourse in Ukraine
English | 2023 | ISBN: 1032455357 | 131 Pages | PDF (True) | 1.4 MB
This book explores the detrimental effects on global peace of populism's tendency to present complex social issues in simplistic "good versus evil" terms. Analyzing the civilizational discourse of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky with respect to the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine―with his division of the world into "civilized us" versus "barbarian them"―the book argues that such a one-dimensional representation of complex social reality leaves no space for understanding the conflict and has little, if any, potential to bring about peace.

Free Download Fernando López-Alves, "Populist Nationalism in Europe and the Americas"
English | ISBN: 1138343072 | 2018 | 304 pages | EPUB | 1132 KB
Populist nationalism fuses beliefs that citizens are being exploited by a privileged elite with claims that the national culture and interests are under threat from enemies within or without. Ideologically fluid, populist nationalists decry "out-of-touch" institutions such as political parties and the mainstream press while extolling the virtues of the "people." They claim that only populists can truly represent the nation and solve its problems, and often call for unorthodox solutions that appeal to the common people.

Ihsan Yilmaz, "Populist and Pro-Violence State Religion: The Diyanet's Construction of Erdoğanist Islam in Turkey "
English | ISBN: 9811667063 | 2022 | 343 pages | PDF | 6 MB
This book explores state-religion relations under a populist authoritarian ruling party in Turkey. In doing so, it investigates how the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) instrumentalizes state-controlled religion to further, defend, legitimatize and propagate its authoritarian populist political agenda in a constitutionally secular nation-state. To exemplify this, the authors examine the Friday sermons delivered weekly in every mosque in Turkey by the Turkish State's Directorate of Religious Affairs (Diyanet). By analyzing all sermons delivered between 2010-2021, the book shows how the Diyanet has enthusiastically adopted AKP's increasingly Islamist, authoritarian, civilisationist, militarist and pro-violence populism since 2010, and how it has tried to socially engineer beliefs in line with this ideology.
