    Impact on Urban Governance of Local Politics and Terror Relationship: The Case of Turkey
    (Peter Lang AG, 2021) Acar H.; Karaağaç Y.
    In Ancient Greek, the concept of democracy, which means "government of the people", is the basic element of defining the modern world, where fundamental rights and freedoms are acquired innately, and the principle of justice and the equal citizen is spread to the general. In a democratic regime, public participation in management takes place based on general and local government. While issues such as basic welfare, justice, and security are under the responsibility of the general government, in provinces, districts, towns, and villages; local services such as infrastructure, transportation, food, clean water, cleaning, and burials are performed. The fact that the municipalities, which are the center of local politics and functioning, have the authority and responsibility as a legal person, is the result of a democratic system, but it can also be seen as units that should be seized and engaged for armed attacks and terrorist organizations that cannot reach their targets. Having carried out its first armed action in 1984, PKK (Partiya Karkeren Kurdistan) has been carrying out terrorist acts in line with the independent Kurdistan target for nearly 40 years and can renew its tactics and strategies periodically in achieving its goal. The PKK carried out rural-based terrorist activities until the political parties with which it had an organic bond strengthened within the framework of the local government and during this period caused the death of40000 people. Political parties (Democratic Regions Party-DRP, Peoples' Democratic Party-PDP), who expressed their ties with the PKK at every opportunity, changed the concept of the PKK and changed to urban terrorism as a result of the fact that the PKK changed the concept and converted to city terrorism. The delivery of weapons and ammunition to the organization with municipal vehicles, the municipalities providing financing to the organization from their allowances, giving priority to the companies that have a relationship with the PKK in municipal tenders and being the reference of the PKK with recruitments, after the organization's self-management call, the municipalities of DRP (§irnak, Silopi, Cizre, Nusaybin and Yuksekova's 16 municipalities), such as the declaration of autonomy and the city war called "trench war", reveal the relationship between local government and terrorism. This chapter aims to show that democratic developments can be manipulated by terrorist organizations and draw attention to the fact that local governments can act under the aim of terrorist organizations under a so-called democratic view. © Peter Lang GmbH.
