Populism, Authoritarianism and Necropolitics Instrumentalization of Martyrdom Narratives in AKP's Turkey
Ihsan Yilmaz, "Populism, Authoritarianism and Necropolitics: Instrumentalization of Martyrdom Narratives in AKP's Turkey"
English | ISBN: 9811982910 | 2023 | 226 pages | PDF | 4 MB
This book examines how Turkey's ruling party, the Justice and Development Party (AKP), under the leadership of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan produces and employs necropolitical narratives in order to perpetuate its authoritarian rule.

In doing so, the book argues that as the party transitioned from socially conservative Muslim democratic values to authoritarian Islamism, it embraced a necropolitical narrative based on the promotion of martyrdom, and of killing and dying for the Turkish nation and Islam, as part of their authoritarian legitimation. This narrative, the book shows, is used by the party to legitimise its actions and deflect its failures through the framing of the deaths of Turkish soldiers and civilians, which have occurred due to the AKP's political errors, as martyrdom events in which loyal servants of the Turkish Republic and God gave their lives in order to protect the nation in a time of great crisis. This book also describes how, throughout its second decade in power, the AKP has used Turkey's education system, its Directorate of Religious Affairs, and television programs in order to propagate its necropolitical martyrdom narrative.
