Abstract

Securitization is done for a purpose. It is a tool rather than a goal. That has been the case with Erdoğan’s Turkey. This chapter discusses briefly how Erdoğan has used securitization as a tool to grab the power in Turkey and ensure its authoritarianist grip of power. Erdoğan and the AKP employed securitization to change the regime, which they successfully did from a parliamentarian system to a presidential system. And finally, they are employing securitization to bring their domestic issues into the transnational level, where they influence the diaspora communities, and call them to action.
