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.

“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)
