In his presentation, Dr. Baudner provided a comprehensive analysis of the emergence, rise, and future prospects of the Alternative for Germany (AfD), a prominent right-wing populist party in German politics. He offered insightful evaluations on the AfD’s impact within German domestic politics as well as its influence across Europe.
The seminar attracted great interest from students and academics alike. Following the presentation, an interactive question-and-answer session was held, where participants actively engaged with questions and contributions.
After the seminar, the Dean of the Faculty of Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences, Prof. Dr. Kenan Aydın, hosted Dr. Joerg Baudner and Dr. Öğr. Üyesi Elif Şahin, who accompanied him, at his office. During the meeting, possible joint academic projects between the two institutions were discussed, resulting in three concrete collaboration decisions:
  1. A summer school project to be jointly organized with the partner institution,
  2. An international conference focusing on populism,
  3. A joint academic publication addressing the relationship between populism and marketing.
Emphasizing the importance of sustaining the collaboration between the two universities, Dr. Joerg Baudner was given a campus tour and introduced to the university’s facilities.
