Etter Assad-regimets fall
Under den syriske borgerkrigen ble over 14 millioner syrere drevet på flukt, noe som gjør dem til verdens største fordrevne befolkning. Midtøsten, som hadde opptil 5,5 millioner syriske flyktninger, har tatt imot det største antallet. Regimets fall i 2024 aktualiserte spørsmålet om repatriering. Likevel forblir tilbakevendingen i begrenset omfang på grunn av vedvarende lavintensitetskonflikt, høy grad av usikkerhet og en økonomi i ruiner. Artikke…
Autoritær konflikthåndtering
Den uventede styrtingen av Assad-regimet i desember 2024 av Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) og andre opposisjonsgrupper avsluttet brått den ustabile status quo som hadde preget Syria siden 2020. Syrias plutselige kollaps illustrerer de begrensningene internasjonale meklerforsøk har hatt i å avslutte landets tretten år lange borgerkrig. Sentrale initiativer har inkludert FN-prosessen i Genève og Astana-plattformen, ledet av Russland, Iran og Tyrkia. Me…

Palestinian and Kurdish nationalism
This article compares the efforts of the Palestinians and the Kurds – the two largest stateless nations in the Middle East – to obtain recognition. While Kurdish movements are spread across four countries in the region – Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran, with specificities dependent on the historical context and relations with the particular host state – in this article we focus on the Syrian Kurds as a contrast to the Palestinians. This is because …
Between Human and State Security
Since 2011, Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) government has sought to portray the country as an emerging humanitarian and peacebuilding power, mobilising the country’s diplomatic and foreign policy resources to project the AKP’s vision of Turkey’s Islamic identity through the lens of its duty to help. An analysis of the official narratives on the state’s humanitarian and peacebuilding policies as they have evolved in the Syrian…
Rebel governance and gender in northeast Syria
The Democratic Union Party (PYD), the dominant Kurdish political party in Northern Syria, has led a vanguard movement for autonomy based on Kurdistan Worker's Party (PKK) leader Abdullah Öcalan's ideology of democratic confederalism. A central component of this ideology is the focus on gender equality (jineologi). Ideology has served as a potent mobilising force in particular by empowering women, a group that is often at the margins of power in t…
Kurdish Women in Rojava
In 2010, the imprisoned leader of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (Partiya Karkeren Kurdistan, PKK), Abdullah Öcalan, declared, "The freedom of the Kurdish people can be viewed as inseparably bound to women's freedom."1 This statement emphasizes a core tenet in the reinvention of the PKK's ideology as articulated by Öcalan: the understanding that freedom can only be achieved through the defeat of the patriarchal system. The women of the PKK and its …

Dressing for the Occasion
Since the establishment of the Republic in 1923, Turkey has sought its place in the West based on the premise of Turkey’s Western identity. In doing so, the secular elite have consciously repressed the country’s Muslim identity while simultaneously promoting Turkey as a bridge between East and West. After 9/11, however, Turkey’s Muslim identity has become increasingly ‘marketable’, particularly under the stewardship of the Welfare and Development…
Political Islam in Turkey
The victory in the November 2002 elections of the religiously rooted Justice and Development Party (AKP) has been a challenge for Turkish democracy with its strong secular state tradition. The Turkish Armed Forces, as guardians of the state, are wary of any AKP policies that may undermine secularity. Although the military condemns the use of religion for political purposes, it has, in the past, used religion as a political tool to serve national …
Analysis
This article examines the potential repercussions of the Iraq War on the Kurdish issue in Turkey. An introduction to the Kurdish problem and its securitisation in Turkey precedes an analysis of the Gulf War's impact on Turkey's policies towards the Kurds—in both Turkey and Iraq. The article briefly documents the struggle between the EU's pressures on Turkey after 1999 to improve Kurdish rights and the state's reluctance to implement reforms. Impa…
