| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Kurdish politics in the Middle East and within the boundaries of states where Kurdish speaking populations live, is a highly complicated, multi-layered and multi-faceted issue. In this special issue, our focus is mainly on Kurdish politics in Turkey, especially in the past fifteen years under the AKP regime, which can be considered as a dynamic episode of state-formation and (de-) democratization onto itself. This introductory piece briefly reviews some aspects of Kurdish politics in Turkey and previews the articles in this special issue. |
