History writing and securitization of the other: the construction and reconstruction of Palestinian and Israeli security discourses / Coskun, Bezen Balamir   Journal Article
Coskun, Bezen Balamir Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract In conflict situations the protagonists are driven by rival visions of the past. The protracted conflict between Israelis and Palestinians is a particularly extreme case to illustrate this point. In protracted conflict like the Israeli-Palestinian conflict historians themselves are acting as combatants. In this regard, the article argues that history writing, particularly in the cases of protracted conflicts, constitutes an important part of the construction and reconstruction of security discourses whether by supporting mainstream security discourses or by challenging them. By discussing the role of history writing in the securitization process, this article aims to contribute to the centuries-long debates over the history-writing-politics nexus by taking a security studies perspective.

PKK problem: explaining Turkey's failure to develop a political solution / Bacik, Gokhan; Coskun, Bezen Balamir   Journal Article
Bacik, Gokhan Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract This article discusses why Turkey has failed to propose an effective political solution of the Kurdish problem. It is argued that Turkey's failure to propose an effective political agenda is the main explanation of why Partiya Karkeran Kurdistan (PKK) insurgency has been rampant for so long. Turkey's commitment to militaristic methods worsened the Kurdish problem by creating deeper social problems. Furthermore, it is argued that the explanations tendered also point out the important factors that may affect the fate of any political agenda on the Kurdish problem, including that of the recent Kurdish initiative of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) government.
