As the leader who has shaped the policies of the PKK, Öcalan’s narrative of history has functioned as a cognitive map for the organization. Accordingly, this study argues that Öcalan’s narrative of history reflects a strong primordialist tendency. Furthermore, it is argued that history has been a significant component of Öcalan’s political thought.","PeriodicalId":45917,"journal":{"name":"NATIONAL IDENTITIES","volume":"24 1","pages":"287 - 302"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42210473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moving east, in Central Europe the binary is inverted and turned against ‘liberal cosmopolitans’; in Russia, the Kremlin’s ‘state-civilization’ project can be viewed as a distinct trend in nation-building for non-Western contemporary great powers.","PeriodicalId":45917,"journal":{"name":"NATIONAL IDENTITIES","volume":"24 1","pages":"461 - 480"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46644333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
