Abstract
As the Turkish state once again took the militarized path in dealing with its longstanding Kurdish question, discussions arose as to whether this indicated a geopolitical turn. In response to these debates, this chapter argues that Turkey’s Kurdish question has always been geopolitical when geopolitics is broadly construed as the dialectic of spatialization strategies of a multiplicity of social actors. Furthermore, the current geopolitics of Turkey’s Kurdish question is contextualized in the broader strategies of reproduction of the Erdoğan administration, whose political survival became dependent on a power-sharing coalition with the ultranationalists, resulting in a more assertive anti-Kurdish position domestically and abroad.
