Insurgency and Counter-Insurgency in Turkey: The New PKK

Autor Spyridon Plakoudas
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 ian 2019
This book seeks to answer the “why” and “how” questions about the insurgency of the PKK, a militant left-wing group of Turkey’s Kurds, in Turkey. The PKK has been inter-locked in an intermittent war against Turkey since 1984 in the name of Kurdish nationalism. The author combines  insights of Strategy and IR - from strategy and tactics in irregular warfare to peace negotiations between state authorities and insurgents, with data from qualitative research, to achieve two inter-related objectives: first, assess the current state of affairs and predict the future course of the conflict and, secondly, draw general conclusions on how protracted conflicts can end and how.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

For readers of Strategy and IR and researchers on the Middle East, the intermittent war between the PKK and Turkey (1984–present) forms the ideal case study as every possible outcome (military victory, peace negotiations and stalemate) and aspect (terrorism, insurgency and civil unrest) of ethnic civil wars have manifested over the years. This monograph offers an up-to-date analysis of an irregular conflict (2004–2017) which spilled over to neighbouring states since 2011 and continues to shape the Middle East through the lens of Strategic Studies. 

Spyridon Plakoudasis Assistant Professor in Strategy and IR at the American University in the Emirates and Vice President of the think tank KEDISA.

Recenzii

“This book is an important contribution to the literature. It will be of particular interest to scholars of critical terrorism studies, conflict resolution and those who research the resolution of the Kurdish Conflict. … this is an interesting, engaging, easy-to-read book that raises very important questions on the Kurdish Conflict in Turkey and pushes forward the boundaries of this area of study.” (Recep Onursal, Critical Studies on Terrorism, November 28, 2019)
