Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 2Norms as Negotiation Resource: the Empowerment of the European Parliament in the Lisbon Treaty(Uluslararasi Iliskiler Konseyi Dernegi, 2012) Burgin, AlexanderDespite diverging preferences concerning the role of the European Parliament in the institutional architecture of the European Union, the EU member states have accepted a significant increase of its power in the Lisbon Treaty This paper argues that bargaining power alone cannot explain this result. Instead, it postulates the importance of normative pressure: arguments based on shared norms of democratic governance at the national level add legitimacy to the preferences of the supporters of a parliamentarization of the EU and mobilize social pressure on opponents of the empowerment of the ER The impact of norms as negotiation resource is demonstrated in an analysis of three controversies in the European Convention: the appointment and budget competences of the EP and the role of national parliaments.Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 18Strong, but Anxious State: the Fantasmatic Narratives on Ontological Insecurity and Anxiety in Turkey(Uluslararasi Iliskiler Konseyi Dernegi, 2022-04-09) Adisonmez, Umut Can; Onursal, RecepThe political discourse on the problem of state survival in Turkey is hegemonic. What is central to this discourse is Sevresphobia: the idea that Turkey is surrounded by internal and external enemies who are ready to destroy it. This article aims to explain why the political discourse on the problem of state survival in Turkey sustains itself over time and how it captures the collective mode of being. The article argues that fantasmatic narratives play an important role in maintaining the hegemonic discourse and governing collective anxiety. First, fantasmatic narratives simplify the socio-political space by offering a comforting explanation for the ongoing insecurities and making anxiety tolerable. Second, they act as an ideological force by keeping the political dimension of the discourse on ontological security at bay. Drawing on the Post-foundational Theory of Discourse (PTD) and Ontological Security Theory (OST), the article problematizes and analyzes the political discourse on the problem of state survival in Turkey.
