Küçük Hayaller, Büyük Başarısızlıklar: Syriza’nın Yükselişi ve Düşüşü

2007-2008 finansallaşmış kapitalist krizin patlak vermesinin ardından Avrupa’da ulusal hükümetler tarafından izlenen kemer sıkma politikalarına yönelik toplumsal tepki, seçimlerde ana akım partilerin düşüşü ve radikal partilerin yükselişi şeklinde cisimleşerek siyasi paradigma değişikliğini gündeme getirmiştir. Buna rağmen literatürde radikal sola yönelik ilgi düşük düzeyde kalmıştır. Çalışmada, bu minvalde, atipik bir örnek olarak Yunan radikal solunun yükselişi, yapısal politik ekonomik koşullar, toplumsal hareketlilik ve toplumsal protesto dinamikleri ile politik kurumsal koşullar açısından ele alınmaktadır. Araştırmada, Yunan solunun Syriza etrafında yeniden gruplaşmasının arkasında yatan temel nedenin, kemer sıkma ajandasının olumsuz sosyal sonuçlarının tetiklediği değişim arzusunun geleneksel siyasal ayarları alt üst etmesi olduğu savunulmaktadır.

Small Dreams, Big Failures: The Rise and Fall of Syriza

Following the outbreak of the 2007-2008 financialized capitalist crisis, the social reaction to the austerity politics pursued by national governments in Europe disrupted the traditional settings of national politics by embodying in the fall of mainstream parties and the rise of radical parties in elections. However, interest in radical left remains low in the literature. Thus, in this study, as an atypical case, the rise of the Greek radical left is addressed by structural political economic conditions, social mobilization and social protest dynamics as well as political institutional conditions. It is argued that that the main reason behind the regroupment of the Greek left around Syriza is the destruction of traditional political settings by the desire for change, which was triggered by the negative social consequences of the austerity agenda.
