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. 606 $aKurds$zTurkey$xPolitics and government 606 $aKurds$zTurkey$xHistory$xAutonomy and independence movements 606 $aInsurgency$vCase studies 606 $aCivil war$vCase studies 607 $aTurkey$xPolitics and government$y1980- 607 $aTurkey$xEthnic relations 615 0$aKurds$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aKurds$xHistory$xAutonomy and independence movements. 615 0$aInsurgency 615 0$aCivil war 676 $a956.1/00491597 686 $aPOL011000$aPOL034000$aSOC028000$2bisacsh 700 $aGurses$b Mehmet$0862401 712 02$aMichigan Publishing (University of Michigan) 801 0$bMiU 801 1$bMiU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910309959203321 996 $aAnatomy of a civil war$91925092 997 $aUNINA
