The majority of current political communication studies focus on discursive dimensions of communications and disregard how communications partake in the governing of populations through economic, material and institutional practices. By focusing on Turkey’s case, here I move beyond this approach and examine the role of communications in the development of neoliberal capital accumulation, authoritarian welfare politics, political repression and the production of popular support. The article provides an empirical analysis of policy developments and plans and the restructuring of ownership and control of networks between 2002 and 2016 in Erdoğan’s Turkey.

土耳其的传播威权主义

当前的大多数政治传播研究都集中在传播的话语维度上，而忽略了传播如何通过经济、物质和制度实践参与人口治理。通过关注土耳其的案例，我在这里超越了这种方法，考察了传播在新自由主义资本积累、威权福利政治、政治镇压和民众支持的产生中的作用。本文对 2002 年至 2016 年埃尔多安的土耳其的政策发展和计划以及网络所有权和控制权的重组进行了实证分析。
