Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyze the discourse of the radical nationalist perspective about Turkey-EU relations from the 1990s to 2008. The EU is discussed as an actor within the globalization process. Therefore, in a broader context, the study will present the situation of the radical nationalist perspective in Turkey within the globalization process. In the study, the Milliyetci Hareket Partisi (Nationalist Action Party, MHP) has been selected as the political representative of radical nationalism in Turkey. The party’s official discourse is focused on the relations with the EU. In this framework, the party’s perception of the EU, of Turkey-EU relations and of Turkey’s position in these relations will be analyzed concerning the themes prominent in its discourse. While doing this, we will also try to reveal contradictions, uncertainties and ambivalences.
