In this article we look into the politics of the Kurdistan Workers Party (<i>Partiya Karkerên Kurdistan</i>, PKK) through its engagement in municipal politics in the late 1970s in Batman, then a rural town in the Kurdistan region in Turkey, which rapidly industrialised after the local discovery of oil. Using a citizenship analytical lens, this article makes two substantial contributions. The article challenges overly simplistic, linear narratives regarding the PKK's origins and its eventual embrace of violence. By analysing the PKK's electoral and representational politics in the late 1970s, it emphasises the political dynamics of that period rather than reinterpreting its emergence solely through the later insurgency. Empirically, the article illustrates how the Kurdish political movement's pursuit of representation directly challenged the ethnically exclusionary citizenship regime of the Turkish state.</p>","PeriodicalId":48280,"journal":{"name":"Third World Quarterly","volume":"46 8","pages":"913-931"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12312805/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144776641","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
