About this book
Türkiye's response to PKK terrorism stands as one of the most sustained, complex, and evolving counterterrorism efforts in the modern era. This book offers the first comprehensive English-language analysis of Türkiye's counterterrorism strategy, adopting a security-oriented perspective that integrates military, political, legal, economic, and social dimensions. It presents a holistic and critical evaluation of how Türkiye has sought to address terrorism across changing domestic and international environments.
