This book is highly topical considering the recent resurgence of
violence by the PKK, the incursions into Northern Iraq by the
Turkish army and security forces and Turkey's EU accession
negotiations. Turkey has become an increasingly important player in
Middle Eastern geopolitics. More than two decades of serious
conflict in Turkey are proving to be a barrier to improved
relations between Turkey and the EU. This book is the first study
to fully address the legal and political dimensions of the
conflict, and their impact on mechanisms for conflict resolution in
the region, offering a scholarly exploration of a debate that is
often politically and emotionally highly charged.
Kerim Yildiz and Susan Breau look at the practical application
of the law of armed conflicts to the ongoing situation in Turkey
and Northern Iraq. The application of the law in this region also
means addressing larger questions in international law, global
politics and conflict resolution. Examples include belligerency in
international law, whether the 'War on Terror' has resulted in
changes to the law of armed conflict and terrorism and conflict
resolution.
The Kurdish Conflict explores the practical possibilities of
conflict resolution in the region, examining the political dynamics
of the region, and suggesting where lessons can be drawn from other
peace processes, such as in Northern Ireland.
This book will be of great value to policy-makers, regional
experts, and others interested in international humanitarian law
and conflict resolution.
