Abstract
Proponents of contemporary peace-building paradigms argue that the formal end of an intractable conflict does not automatically provide a meaningful change in either side‘s social beliefs. Through an analysis of Turkey’s Kurdish conflict (viewed in the light of the ethos of conflict theory) I intended to examine the nature of the Turkish ethos that contributed to the peace process’s failure in 2015. To gain a greater understanding of the set of social beliefs, in 2015 I conducted 20 in-depth interviews with non-Kurdish local opinion leaders. My findings indicate that Turkey’s inattention to the Turkish ethos of the conflict constituted one of the prominent shortcomings of its peace process.
