Role of context in desecuritization: Turkish foreign policy towards Northern Iraq (2008–2017) / Pusane, Ozlem Kayhan   Journal Article
Pusane, Ozlem Kayhan Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract For decades, Turkish policymakers have perceived the possible emergence of a Kurdish autonomous region or an independent Kurdish state in northern Iraq as an existential threat to Turkey. However, from 2008 onwards, under the Justice and Development Party government, Turkish foreign policy towards the Iraqi Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) was gradually desecuritized. In light of Turkey’s experience, this paper explores the role of context in desecuritizing foreign policy issues in general and Turkish foreign policy towards the KRG in particular. It argues that the changing civil–military relations in Turkey as well as the country’s broader political and economic conjuncture allowed for the desecuritization of Turkey-KRG relations from 2008 onwards. The context also determined what kind of a desecuritization Turkey experienced towards the KRG.

Turkey's military victory over the PKK and Its failure to end the PKK insurgency / Pusane, Ozlem Kayhan   Article
Pusane, Ozlem Kayhan Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article explores the major reasons why Turkey could not end the PKK insurgency despite its military defeat in the late 1990s. It argues that Turkish governments have failed to sufficiently address two key aspects of their low-intensity conflict with the PKK, namely the fact that the PKK is not just a group of armed militants, but rather a complex insurgent organization and that it appeals to a large number of Kurds. Turkey's inability to definitively quell the PKK insurgency raises significant questions regarding the justification and effectiveness of the use of military force in dealing with insurgencies.
