Understanding Insurgency

Focusing on the PKK (Kurdistan Workers Party), the armed group which has attracted global attention in recent years for its efforts in resisting the ISIS campaign in Syria and Iraq, this study examines how, since the 1970s, the PKK obtained and maintained popular support, and the role of violence in this relationship in Turkey.
