| Title | The Effect of Modernization on Ethnic Conflict: The Kurdish Question in Turkey |
| Summary | The literature on the relationship between modernization and ethnic conflict has different variants, mostly disagreeing with each other. In this thesis, I examine the Kurdish question in Turkey in the light of the existent theories and the histories of the ethnic mobilizations of the Turkish and Kurdish societies before I conclude that a single theory on the relationship between modernization and the intensity of ethnic conflict can not explain the whole story, but it should be considered from a multi-theoretical perspective. I also statistically analyze this relationship for both groups, at individual level survey data. The finding of the statistical analysis is that the attitudes of the public towards ethnic conflict in Turkey does not have arelationship as predicted by any of the theories, but rather the results are mixed. |
