This book presents a deep dive into the interconnectedness of national identity, political rhetoric, and security concerns within contemporary Turkey’s context. This valuable analysis reveals how the nation’s policy-making and nationalism are shaped by perceived threats, both within and beyond Turkey’s borders. The book meticulously unpacks the ‘security-nationalism’ paradigm, offering a unique insight into the mechanisms that drive Turkish politics. Catering to scholars, students, and enthusiasts of political science, international relations, and Turkish studies, the book is particularly relevant for those seeking to understand the dynamics of security politics in a nationalistic context. Its focus on Turkey, a significant player in global politics, also offers a regional perspective that will engage local readers as well as those interested in geopolitics. Exploring major themes such as identity, nationalism, and security, the book offers an enriching discourse for those interested in politics and international relations.

Taha Baran is a political scientist specializing in security studies, discourse analysis, and Turkish politics. He holds a PhD in political science and international relations from Yildiz Technical University, Turkey, where his research focused on examining the construction of internal actors as security threats through the analysis of discourse employed by political elites. His time as a visiting researcher at Concordia University, Canada, further enriched his understanding in these areas. Baran has also lectured on history of political thought and human rights law at Arel University’s Department of International Relations, Turkey, where he has shared his knowledge and expertise with students. Baran’s experience as a primary school teacher in the Ministry of National Education provided him with firsthand insights into the social and political challenges faced by young students. His publications critically analyze various aspects of Turkish politics, including his book Basında Dersim 1937-1938 (Dersim in the Press 1937-1938).
