Demokrasiler neden şiddet içermeyen sivil hareketleri baskılarlar? Demokrasiler, şiddet içermeyen sivil hareketlere tepki olarak neden popülist söyleme başvururlar? Bu sorulara cevap verebilmek için, bu tez popülist söylemin şiddet içermeyen sivil hareketlerin baskılanması üzerindeki etkisini incelemektedir. Bu tez temel olarak hükümetlerin baskı kurmak için gereken siyasal fırsatların sınırlarını genişletmek adına şiddet içermeyen sivil hareketlere tepki olarak popülist söyleme, i.e. bağımsız değişken, başvurduklarını iddia etmekte ve var olan baskı ve mobilizasyon modeline bir bağımsız değişken ekleyerek literatüre katkı yapmaktadır. Bu değişken, yapılandırılmış karşılaştırmalı vaka çalışması yoluyla Gezi Park Hareketi, Mısır Devrimi ve Wall Street'i İşgal Et Hareketi'nin karşılaştırıldığı bir yöntem ile test edilmektedir. Bu vakalar popülist söylemin, şiddet içermeyen sivil hareketlerin devlet tarafından baskılanmasında etkili olduğunu ispatlamaktadır. ; Why do democracies repress nonviolent civilian mobilization? Why do democracies use populist discourse as a response to nonviolent civilian mobilization? This thesis examines the effect of populist discourse on state repression of nonviolent civilian mobilization. The central claim of this thesis is that governments respond to nonviolent civilian mobilization with populist discourse, i.e., independent variable, to expand the limits of political opportunities for repression. I built on the literature by including an independent variable, namely populist discourse, to the existing model of repression and mobilization. The causal effect of "populist discourse" is tested through a structured and focused comparative case study, namely most similar systems analysis, through which I compare Gezi Park Movement, the Egyptian Revolution and Occupy Wall Street Movement. These three cases provide evidence that the populist discourse effects state repression of nonviolent mobilization.
The West-East corridor is one of the main gateways to enter West Sumatra Province. The West-East corridor, which passes through 65 districts, has a variety of potentials and problems. This means, the growth rate of each district will be different. The growth rate and strength of the relationship among regions can be observed through the gravity model's spatial interactions. The gravity model can calculate the relative strength of the relationship between regions. To see the strength of the relationship among regions in the West-East corridor, strategic economic areas were taken into considerations based on their distance and several observational variables, which were the total population variable, infrastructure completeness, level of security, and investment value. Observation analysis units consisted of sixty-five sub-districts along the West-East corridor. Mass 1 (M1) was the central government, West Padang district, and mass 2 (M2) was the other 64 sub-districts. The analysis results show that the total population, infrastructure completeness, level of security, and investment value are not only influenced by their closeness to the government/city center. The infrastructure completeness factor can influence the total population in a region. Likewise, the investment value can be influenced by the infrastructure completeness and the level of security in a region.JEL Classification: O10; R12; R19
