SÖYLEMSEL YÖNETİŞİM ÖRNEĞİ OLARAK TÜRKİYE’DE NÜFUS YANLISI POLİTİKALAR

Nüfus yanlısı politikaların söylemsel yönetişimi; siyasal otoritelerin çıkarlarını sürdürmek adına politik söylemde fikirlerin yayılması için kasıtlı olarak seçilen sloganları kullanan norm tabanlı yönetişim mekanizmalarını ifade eder. Bu tür fikirler, siyasa üretme kısıtı olmaksızın yönetişimin kamusal alan içinde sosyal temsiller oluşturmasını sağlamak yoluyla modern iletişim teknolojileri aracılığıyla yayılabilir. Bu çalışmada, 2008'den sonra Türkiye'deki nüfus yanlısı devlet söyleminin söylemsel yönetişime örnek teşkil ettiğini savuınuyoruz. Elde ettiğimiz bulgular; söylemsel mekanizmaların, direkt siyasa yapılanması olmadan evli çiftlerin üreme tutumlarında bir değişikliğe yol açabileceğini göstermektedir. Bu çalışma bulguları çerçevesinde, söylemsel nüfus politikası örneği üzerinden yönetişim tartışmalarına yeni bir boyut kazandırmayı amaçlamaktadır.

DISCURSIVE GOVERNANCE OVER PRO-POPULATION POLITICS IN TURKEY

Discursive governance of pro-population politics refers to norm-based mechanisms of governance thatutilise intentionally selected slogans in political discourse for dissemination of ideas to further the interestsof political authorities. Such ideas can be disseminated via modern communication technologies enablinggovernance to build social representations within the public sphere without policy constraints. It is ourproposal that the pro-population state discourse in Turkey after 2008 constitutes an example of discursivegovernance. Our findings show that discursive mechanisms can lead to a change in married couples’reproductive attitude without significant policy alteration and further the debate in view of discursivegovernance of population politics.
