The PKK (Rebels)

REBELS

Rebels is an exciting and innovative series looking at contemporary rebel groups and their place in global politics. Written by leading experts, the books serve as definitive introductions to the individual organizations, whilst seeking to place them within a broader geographical and political framework. They examine the origins, ideology and future direction of each group, whilst posting such questions as `When does a "rebel" political movement become a "terrorist" organization?' and `What are the social-economic drivers behind political violence?' Provocative and original, the series is essential reading for anyone interested in how rebel groups operate today.
