ABSTRACT
Introduction The KCK as a multi-dimensional entity that has become the main actor of social movement in the Kurdish part of Turkey has become an umbrella entity for all political, cultural and social activities. Therefore, as a main actor of the social movement, the KCK has to have plans and projects to widen its range of activisms and keep making people gather around its ideology (McAdam et al, 1996: 340-341). The main task of this chapter will be examining two projects of the KCK that have become effective on the Turkish state and society on the one hand. The projects have opened civil and democratic ways for the Kurdish national struggle on the other hand. Both projects have been articulated based on the series of discussions and analyses that have been advanced by the KCK within the frame of the concept of Democratic Confederalism. The first project is the ‘Road Map’ that was suggested by Ocalan in 2009 as a solution for the Kurdish question. The other project is the Democratic Autonomy that has been suggested by the DTK and the former Kurdish party the BDP as legal face of the KCK in Turkey. The second project has been prepared based on the Road Map for solving the model of the nation state and presenting the model of a democratic nation. Examining these two projects will be so beneficial for understanding the notion of transformation from the PKK as a party that approached the Kurdish national struggle through the nation state perspective to the KCK that is approaching the struggle through the concept of democratic autonomy perspective.
