Title Discourse in the Service of the Nation: Religious Nationalism in Contemporary Turkey
Summary The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate that the new nation building process in contemporary Turkey focuses on the intertwined relationship between religion and nationalism. It argues that religious nationalism is an important concept to explain the case, as it combines the concepts of religion and nationalism. This case also offers a reinterpretation of the concept of religious nationalism in which more emphasis is given to the nation. This research is based on qualitative discourse analysis, focusing on several political speeches.
Key words: religious nationalism, discourse, Turkey
