AN ANALYSIS ON DEMOCRATIC CONFEDERALISM AS THE STATE-FREE POLITICAL FORMATION MODEL OF THE KCK CONVENTION
Abstract
Throughout history and today, many different state organizations and management practices have been carried out by people. The differences in the formation of state organizations are related to the approaches to the administration quests to improve their ability to respond to dynamic and varying needs of community. The quests and debates on state and community organizations have been continuing at full pelt today. During social crises and conflicts, the states appear on the stage as primary role-bearers. If the problem-solving abilities of states are developed, they proceed on their own way. The state organizations incapable of producing solutions jeopardize their own futures by deepening the chaos. In this context, as a social wound and a source of chaos, terrorism has come to the fore as the problem many countries have strived to deal with throughout history. The PKK terror, which has been a real burden on the Republic of Turkey for more than 40 years, has become a social wound. The state has made many social, cultural and political initiatives to tackle the problem. Even so, the problem continues to an extent that regionally threatens many states as well. The claim that the problem will be sorted out through the "Democratic Confederal Structuring", the theorist of which is alleged to be Öcalan, who is the leader of the terrorist organization, by the terror organization, needs to be clarified in detail in terms of the fact that whether it reflects reality or not. Based on this need, it is aimed to evaluate the problem-solving potentiality of the KCK Convention prepared by the leader of the terrorist organization PKK, Öcalan. By mapping the meaning of the Democratic Confederal Structuring in the convention, it is discussed about whether the content match up with the claims in the introduction and preamble parts of the convention and its applicability is handled taking into consideration the KCK Convention as the core by analyzing the documents compatible with the literature
