Description | If initially the Kurdish struggle, led by the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), had aimed to establish an independent state, since the 1990s PKK leader Öcalan, together with the Kurdish Women’s Movement, have turned to questioning the patriarchal and capitalist nature of the concept of the nation-state itself. Within this process the Kurdish revolutionary movement developed an alternative model called 'democratic confederalism' or 'stateless democracy' that invoked a confederate composition in which gender equality, self-governance, secularism, cultural diversity, communal economy and social ecology form key pillars. Since 2012 this proposition has been put fully into practice in Rojava, Western Kurdistan in Syria. The contributors describe the political and cultural dimensions of the Rojava Revolution. |
