Dissident ethnic movements are not only a challenge to the existing hegemonic power, but they also produce an alternative closed society based on different ethnic imagination. Instead of taking the armed PKK movement as a pure resistant, this book approaches contemporary Kurdish nationalism led by the PKK as a counter-hegemonic with a narrative that entails the emergence of a new kind of identity and sense of belonging, through which the PKK has been able to exercise its power. This book is an attempt to go beyond resistance-oriented approach, unveiling the two faces of the PKK?s representation of world politics: its transformative effect on the Kurds, and its exclusionary function towards traditional and alternative Kurdish subjects/institutions. 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aMiddle East?History 606 $aRussia?History 606 $aEurope, Eastern?History 606 $aMiddle East?Politics and government 606 $aRussia?Politics and government 606 $aPolitical History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911080 606 $aHistory of the Middle East$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715060 606 $aRussian, Soviet, and East European History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717090 606 $aMiddle Eastern Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911160 606 $aRussian and Post-Soviet Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911170 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 0$aMiddle East?History. 615 0$aRussia?History. 615 0$aEurope, Eastern?History. 615 0$aMiddle East?Politics and government. 615 0$aRussia?Politics and government. 615 14$aPolitical History. 615 24$aHistory of the Middle East. 615 24$aRussian, Soviet, and East European History. 615 24$aMiddle Eastern Politics. 615 24$aRussian and Post-Soviet Politics. 676 $a320.09 700 $aBalci$b Ali$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0960369 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155312203321 996 $aThe PKK-Kurdistan Workers?
