Title: | Forming Pre-Electoral Coalitions in Competitive Authoritarian Contexts: the Case of the 2018 Parliamentary Elections in Turkey | Authors: | Baskan, Filiz Gumrukcu, Selin Bengi Canyas, F. Orkunt |
Publisher: | Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd | Abstract: | In competitive authoritarian regimes, forming a pre-electoral coalition (PEC) provides a mean for opposition parties to defeat the incumbent party. In Turkey, the ruling Justice and Development Party initiated a PEC by forming the People's Alliance with two other parties. Like the opposition in other competitive authoritarian regimes, Turkey's opposition parties also formed a PEC, namely the Nation Alliance. Looking at the political affinity of these parties by using their election manifestos and Chapel Hill Expert Survey (CHES) data, the paper argues that while the People's Alliance was formed by ideologically close parties, the Nation Alliance was composed of ideologically distant parties, whose main aim, under a competitive authoritarian regime, was to prevent the incumbent from gaining a parliamentary majority. | URI: | https://doi.org/10.1080/19448953.2021.2006006 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14365/1795 |
