The ruling regime in Turkey has created its own unique nationalistic security discourse. Abdullah Esin and Mehmet Yaşar Altundağ argue that Turkey’s rising defence industry, while increasing Turkey's military capacity, also uses techno-nationalist rhetoric to consolidate its voter base and legitimise authoritarian practices
Yaşar completed a research Master’s in political science at Sciences Po Paris.
His research interests include the far right, contemporary nationalism, and contemporary Turkish politics, particularly in the context of secularism, conservatism and nationalism.
