ABSTRACT
The main themes of this chapter are to explicate individual–organization relations, the form and content of cadre education and the militant’s ‘lifestyle’ in the PKK. At micro level, I look at the leadership’s source of power in the recruitment process, which consequently orientates and motivates the grass roots. In the light of the findings of the empirical data collected from the region during fieldwork and the ‘self-resembling’ ethnic background of Kurds, the chapter is devoted to exploring the organizational ‘share’ in the actualization of the movement – the central theme of the study.
