The rise of radical right populist parties in Europe has made it essential for students of political science to understand this amalgam of populism and nationalism.Textbook examples of new actors on the political scene are characterized by a strong populist discourse and a significant nationalist/nativist ideology. The Nationalist Action Party of Turkey ranks high in the list of populist actors (Inglehart & Norris, 2016), and we demonstrate the divergent and convergent points in the populism–nationalism nexus, with an emphasis on the rhetoric of Devlet Bahçeli, the leader of the Nationalist Action Party.
