Despite such horrific aspects, evidence suggests that civil war is likely to generate multilayered outcomes. To examine the transformative aspects of civil war, Mehmet Gurses draws on an original survey conducted in Turkey, where a Kurdish armed group, the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), has been waging an intermittent insurgency for Kurdish self-rule since 1984. Findings from a probability sample of 2,100 individuals randomly selected from three major Kurdish-populated provinces in the eastern part of Turkey, coupled with insights from face-to-face in-depth interviews with dozens of individuals affected by violence, provide evidence for the multifaceted nature of exposure to violence during civil war. Just as the destructive nature of war manifests itself in various forms and shapes, wartime experiences can engender positive attitudes toward women, create a culture of political activism, and develop secular values at the individual level. In addition, wartime experiences seem to robustly predict greater support for political activism. Nonetheless, changes in gender relations and the rise of a secular political culture appear to be primarily shaped by wartime experiences interacting with insurgent ideology.KurdsTurkeyPolitics and governmentKurdsTurkeyHistoryAutonomy and independence movementsInsurgencyCase studiesCivil warCase studiesTurkeyPolitics and government1980-TurkeyEthnic relationsKurdsPolitics and government.KurdsHistoryAutonomy and independence movements.InsurgencyCivil war956.1/00491597POL011000POL034000SOC028000bisacshGurses Mehmet862401Michigan Publishing (University of Michigan)MiUMiUBOOK9910309959203321Anatomy of a civil war1925092UNINA
