Abstract

This article explains the process of change in the political representation of Alevi Kurds in Turkey since the country held its first competitive election in 1950. It applies process tracing methodology to identify the dominant trends in Alevi Kurds’ political representation and highlights how the mode of their political participation evolved over time. The discussion presented here develops an explanation that connects the effects of key events and processes that shapes the outcome of this complex political phenomenon. The strong appeal among Alevi Kurds of the Turkish socialist movement and the political parties that are associated with the secular republican regime is discussed before the impact of the rise of Alevi and Kurdish movements on the Alevi Kurds’ political representation is assessed. The barriers Turkey’s restrictive political and legal order place on Alevi Kurds’ political representation are also highlighted.

土耳其阿列维库尔德人的政治代表:历史趋势和主要转变

本文解释了自1950年土耳其举行第一次竞争性选举以来，土耳其Alevi库尔德人政治代表的变化过程。它采用过程追踪方法来确定阿勒维库尔德人政治代表的主导趋势，并强调他们的政治参与模式如何随着时间的推移而演变。本文的讨论提出了一种解释，将决定这一复杂政治现象结果的关键事件和过程的影响联系起来。讨论了土耳其社会主义运动和与世俗共和政权有关的政党对阿勒维库尔德人的强烈吸引力，然后评估了阿勒维和库尔德运动的兴起对阿勒维库尔德人政治代表的影响。土耳其严格的政治和法律秩序对阿列维库尔德人的政治代表设置的障碍也得到了强调。摘要:在kurmanjitems liyeta siyasî ya kurdên Elewî li Tirkiyeyê: Meylên dîrokî û veguherînên esas ev gotar proseya guher na tems liyeta siyasî ya kurdên Elewî li Tirkiyeyê， ya ji wexta hilbijartina ewill ya pêşbazîdar a 1950和heta ro, rave dike。Gotar, rebazaşopandina prosese tetbiq堤ku meylen serdest en di temsiliyeta siyasi丫kurden Elewi de狂欢自行车u李ser disekine kaşewaza是ş达里语u temsiliyeta wan bi同类群再保险cawa vediguhere。n qa a ku li vir hatiye diyarkirin ravekirineke wusa dike ku tesra bûyerên û proseyên girng yên ku ikl didin encama vê现象sîyasî ya tevlvl hev bi hev ve girê dide。Daxwaza xurt di导航kurden Elewi日圆di nav tevgeren sosyalist en tirk u partiyen siyasi日圆tekili rejima komari丫《de te niqaş麒麟beri nirxandina tesira bilindbuna tevgeren Elewi u库尔德人在李ser temsiliyeta siyasi一kurden Elewi de, Herwiha bal hatiye kişser移往astengiyen nizama qanuni u siyasi丫sinorker Tirkiyeye李丫ku ser temsiliyeta kurden Elewi bi cih堤。
