The Kurds in Erdogans New Turkey

This book focuses on the AKP government since 2002 during which time the states approach to the Kurdish question has undergone several changes. Examining what preceded and followed the failed putsch of 2016, it explains and critiques that which situates the Kurdish question in its broader context. It stands out with the main objective to avoid any policy-oriented bias through an interdisciplinary and multi-thematic approach.

The volume discusses the state and policies in the Kurdish region of Turkey, as well as counter-hegemonic discourses that seek to reform existing institutions. Some chapters focus on the domestic aspects and gender perspectives of the Kurdish question in Turkey, the focus of which has been taken over by recent developments in Syria and the Middle East in general. Other chapters include a range of new aspects of Turkish society and politics, and the international aspects of Ankaras policies and their implications not only inside Turkey but also internationally.

Taking both domestic and foreign policy aspects into account, the book offers a set of innovative explanations for the state of crisis in Turkey and a solid basis for thinking about the likely path forward. Scholars, researchers, and postgraduates interested in political theory and Kurdish and Middle East politics will find this book invaluable.

Nikos Christofis is an associate professor in the Center for Turkish Studies and the School of History and Civilization at Shaanxi Normal University, Xian, China. His work focuses on comparative historical analysis of Greece, Turkey, and Cyprus. He has published extensively in Greek, English, Turkish, Chinese, and Spanish.
