This book examines some of the most pressing issues facing the
Turkish political establishment, in particular the issues of
political Islam, and Kurdish and Turkish nationalisms. The authors
explore the rationales of the main political actors in Turkey in
order to increase our understanding of the ongoing debates over the
secularist character of the Turkish Republic and over Turkey's
longstanding Kurdish issue.
Original contributions from respected scholars in the field of
Turkish and Kurdish studies provide us with many insights into the
social and political fabric of Turkey, exploring Turkey's
secularist establishment, the ruling AKP government, the Kurdistan
Workers' Party and the Institutions of the European Union. While
the focus of concern in this book is with the social agents of
contemporary politics in Turkey, the convictions they have and the
strategies they employ, historical dimensions are also integrated
in their analyses. In its approach, the book makes an important
contribution to a widening investigation into the making of
politics in the contemporary world.
Incorporating the importance of the growing transnational
connections between Turkey and Europe, this book is particularly
relevant in the light of the ongoing negotiations over Turkey's
membership to the European Union, and will be of interest to
scholars interested in Turkish studies, Kurdish studies and Middle
Eastern Politics.
