Abstract: This special issue focuses on the main actualities taking place in Kurdish politics in Turkey during the 2000s and 2010s and critically evaluates their various dimensions and features. In more concrete terms, it investigates and sets out the following themes: the ideological transformation of the PKK; the rise of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (Halkların Demokratik Partisi, HDP) since 2012 and the success it had in the general elections in 2015; the transformation of the Kurdish Islamist Hizbullah movement; 2009 and 2015; and the political economy of Turkey's Kurdish question.
