This extensive examination of the Kurdish conflict in Turkey, Iraq,
Germany, and the EU focuses on the history and development of the
Kurdish Workers Party (PKK) and its impact on transnational
security, human rights, and democratization. The Militant Kurds: A
Dual Strategy for Freedom explores the complexity of the 30-year
guerrilla war of the Kurdish Workers Party (PKK) against the
Turkish Republic, identifying longstanding obstacles to peace and
probing the new dynamics that may lead to an end to the conflict.
In doing so, the book provides fascinating insights into Turkey's
national ethos, its dominant military culture, and civil society's
struggle for increased democratization. The Militant Kurds offers
an extensive analysis of the precarious position of the Kurdish
minority, beginning with the establishment of the modern Turkish
republic in 1923. Divided into five sections examining current
political realities in Turkey, the book investigates the role of
Islam and ethnicity, analyzes the rise of the PKK, discusses
Turkish military culture, and explains the international dimensions
of the Kurdish conflict. Comparative historical, political, and
socioeconomic examples contextualize the long struggle for Kurdish
self-determination. Each chapter offers an analysis of the
underlying dynamics of the conflict and provides up-to-date
explanations.
