In tracing the evolution of Kurdish nationalism, Denise Natali shows that, contrary to popular theories, there is nothing natural or fixed about Kurdish identity or the configuration that Kurdish nationalism assumes. Rather, Kurdish nationalism has been shaped by the development of nation-states in the region. Although Kurdish communities have maintained some shared sense of Kurdishness, Kurdayeti (the mobilization of Kurdish identity) is interwoven with a much larger series of identities within the "political space" of each Kurdish group. Different notions of inclusion and exclusion have modified the political and cultural opportunities of Kurds to express their ethnic identities, and opening the possibility of assuming alternative identities over time. With this book Natali makes a significant contribution to theoretical, empirical, and policy-based scholarship on the Middle East, the plight of the Kurds, ethnonationalism, and ethnopolitical conflict. Hers is the first comparative work to examine Kurdish nationalism as a function of diverse political spaces. As a vital addition to the literature in the field, this book will supplant a number of standard texts on the Kurds.

This book examines modalities for the recognition and political participation of minorities in plurinational states in theory and in practice, with a specific reference to the Republic of Turkey and the resolution of the Kurdish question. Drawing on the experience of Spain and Eastern Europe and other recent novel models for minority accommodation, including the Ottoman experience of minority autonomy (the Millet System), the volume brings together researchers from Turkey and Europe more broadly to develop an ongoing dialogue that analytically examines various models for national minority accommodation. These models promise to protect the state’s integrity and provide governmental mechanisms that satisfy demands for collective representation of national communities in the framework of a plurinational state.

Masterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Soziologie - Politische Soziologie, Majoritäten, Minoritäten, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: The thesis tries to understand the development of ethnic identification in the Turkish Republic. It focusses on Kurdishness and the current, seemingly paradoxical situation of a growing recognition of Kurdish ethnicity with a simultaneous increase of social tensions on this issue. In the theoretical part of the thesis, the concept of ethnicity is analyzed. This includes an examination of the etymology of the term and an introduction of the major schools of thought on ethnicity: primordialism and social constructivism. While primordialism defines ethnicity as a fixed identity constituted by objective and often physical characteristics like ancestry, skin color, or mother tongue, social constructive theories view ethnicity as a variable social category dependent on space and time. Two theories are of importance for the Turkish case: Nagel's (1994) social constructive model of ethnicity which underlines the influences and interrelations of the society, the state, individuals and groups in the social construction of ethnic categories, and Scott's (1990) argument that the perception of opposition on parts of a minority group leads to an increase in its ethnic identification. Based on these theoretical grounds, the empirical part examines the conceptions of Kurdish ethnicity in Turkey from the establishment of the Republic in 1923 until today. At first sight, the developments seem to have been oscillating non-systematically between the two poles of denial and recognition, and ended up in the contemporary paradox of an increasing recognition of Kurdish ethnicity facilitated by the politics of the contemporary AKP government on the one side, and growing social tensions on ethnic issues on the other side. But as the thesis argues, there are signs of a long-term process of increasing recognition of Kurdish ethnicity and growing interaction between parts of the society that define themselves and "Turkish" and "Kurdish". This development led to a stronger perception of opposition on the latter side, which in turn and according to Scott's theory strengthened their ethnic identification. The result of this process is the questioned paradox of recognition and conflict.

The discussions on Kurds of Turkey mostly refer to them as if they are one homogeneous group, with different forms of being Kurdish mostly overlooked. Yet, Kurds have been scattered all across Turkey; they differ in terms of the language they speak; they have also been subject to different policies of the Turkish state in different periods. How can we take these factors into account when discussing Kurdishness in Turkey? That is, in which ways does a Kurd living in a small city in Southeast Turkey differ from a Kurd living in Istanbul? How does being a native Kurdish speaker play a role in forming Kurdishness? What about different state rhetoric in different periods? By focusing on these three main questions, this book offers a detailed account on the diversity of experiences of Kurdishness. Based on her fieldwork in five different field sites in Turkey, Dr. Şengül illustrates, through narratives of her respondents, how Kurdishness is exhibited in different, personalised, and customised forms across different contexts in Turkey. Each substantive chapter in the book analyses a different element that plays a role in constructing these different forms of Kurdishness: state rhetoric, localities, and the language use. By arguing that there is not one single way of exhibiting Kurdishness, this book challenges any standard definitions of Kurdishness, and defines it as the daily (re-)negotiation of state rhetoric and everyday practices individuals experience.

This book focuses on the AKP government since 2002 during which time the state’s approach to the Kurdish Question has undergone several changes. Examining what preceded and followed the failed putsch of 2016, it explains and critiques that situates the Kurdish Question in its broader context. It stands out with the main objective to avoid any ‘policy-oriented bias’ through an interdisciplinary and multi-thematic approach. The volume discusses the state and policies in the Kurdish region of Turkey, as well as counter-hegemonic discourses that seek to reform existing institutions. Some chapters focus on the domestic aspects and gender perspectives of the Kurdish Question in Turkey, which focus has been taken over by recent developments in Syria and the Middle East in general. Other chapters include a range of new aspects of Turkish society and politics, and the international aspects of Ankara’s policies and its implications not only inside Turkey but also internationally. Taking both domestic and foreign policy aspects into account, the book offers a set of innovative explanations for the state of crisis in Turkey and a solid basis for thinking about the likely path forward. Scholars, researchers and post-graduates, interested in political theory, Kurdish and Middle East politics will find this book invaluable.
