The introduction to the Partecipazione e Conflitto (PACO) special issue 18(2) 2025, “Exploring the Kurdish Movement: Power Relations, Historical Dynamics and Theoretical Perspectives,” is now available.
Published on 15 July 2025, the editorial lays out the special issue’s analytical framework, with a focus on:
- historically embedded repertoires of state coercion and colonial governance,
- the movement’s evolving ideological corpus (Democratic Modernity and Jineolojî),
- micro‑level processes of mobilisation, activist identity formation, and internal organisation.
The article offers a multi‑level reading of the Kurdish movement and sketches future research directions on post‑insurgency transitions, DDR and autonomy design, and post‑statist political theory.
