Summary/Abstract

Recent global trends have brought questions of intellectual property (IP) theft to the fore. The fear is that stolen IP, whether gained through hacking, human intelligence or legal means, could threaten the technological edge of Western militaries. There are many nuanced attack vectors. Rebecca Lucas and Trevor Taylor argue that Western governments will have to adopt a whole-of-government approach, as well as collaborating with allies and partners, to effectively address this challenge.

Taking to the streets: the Kurdistan Workers’ Party and the urbanization of insurgency / Lucas, Rebecca

Lucas, Rebecca	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

Though the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) has been able to sustain a rural insurgency in Turkey over several decades, it was unable to sustain the urban insurgency it began in July 2015. This paper looks at the period July 2015 and December 2016 to explore the reasons why, despite the PKK’s experience conducting an insurgency and demonstrated popular support, they were unable to sustain an urban insurgency. It then uses this example to examine the broader conditions under which urban insurgencies may be sustainable. In particular, the hypotheses in this paper look at the complex human and physical landscape of urban environments and the impact of pre-existing social networks.
