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. |The Kurds in Erdogan's | Middle Eastern Studies
