“…These nation-building policies mainly emphasized ethnic homogeneity rather than civic inclusivity (Grigoriadis, 2009), leaving little room for the recognition of other ethnic minorities. The vague nature of the ethnic–civic dichotomy, coupled with exclusionary citizenship discourse (Aslan, 2007; Üstel, 2004) framed with a grandiose narrative (Ardag et al, 2019) that fosters othering (Sandal-Önal, 2021), causes doubts about the notion of Turkish national identity as a unifying force for all member of the nation. While the social psychological perspective emphasizes the importance of national identity for social cohesion and coexistence (Smeekes et al, 2012), the neglect of the nuanced content of the national identity within majority–minority relations in Turkey calls into question the normative framework underlying its conceptualization and measurement.…”

“…The proclamation of the Turkish Republic in 1923 was accompanied by a strong nationalist sentiment based on the glorification of Turkish identity that was used to be considered as a common civic identity while it was also launched as the hegemonic ethnic category. Considering Turkish national identity as a hegemonic ethnoreligious identity that includes almost exclusively Muslim Sunni Turks (see Ardag et al., 2019; Ünlü, 2018; Taşdemir & Özkan, 2016), it is expected that a higher Turkish national identity would be associated with lower support for all kinds of pro‐minority attitudes (see Uluğ & Uysal, 2021), including lower support for pro‐refuge policies.…”

Although scholars argue the role of interaction of national identification and populist mindset on attitudes toward refugees, the role of this interaction remained unanswered in social psychological studies. Across two cross‐sectional survey studies conducted in Turkey (n1 = 190, n2 = 306), I hypothesized that national identity would be negatively associated with supporting pro‐refugee policies and populist attitudes would moderate this relationship. Results implied that populist attitudes moderated the relationship between national identity and support for pro‐refugee policies, while higher national identity predicted lower support for pro‐refugee policies in Turkey. The negative effect of national identity on support for pro‐refugee policies was at its highest level when combined with higher populist attitudes. This finding contributes to the populism literature that implicates populism becomes more concrete when combined with other thick‐centered ideologies such as nationalism. Findings’ theoretical and practical implications for social psychology and political science literature as well as the interrelatedness of these implications with the contextual and historical peculiarity of Turkish politics are discussed.

There are a number of reasons that have shaped the dynamics of intercommunal disputes throughout time in Kenya's ASAL (Arid and Semi-Arid Lands) regions, which provide the historical framework for these conflicts (Mkutu, 2020) (Omuse, 2018) (Nicholas, 2018). Understanding this historical backdrop offers insights into the complicated intercommunal disputes in ASAL and their underlying causes. With roughly 38% of Kenya's population, the ASALs make up 89% of the nation. More than 90% of the wildlife that sustains the tourism sector and accounts for 12% of Kenya's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is found in these regions, while 70% of the national livestock herd, with an estimated worth of Ksh. 70 billion, is located in the ASAL regions (ROK, 2022). The challenges and opportunities in the management of inter-communal conflicts in ASAL regions in Kenya have been extensively studied and discussed by researchers, scholars, and practitioners.
