商品描述

This book critically examines Abdullah Öcalan's proposal of "democratic confederalism," introduced in 2005, and its theoretical and practical implications. Despite its claims to transcend the nation-state model, Öcalan's project leaves the colonial structures of the Turkish, Persian, and Arab states unchallenged, legitimizing their assimilatory and genocidal tendencies. It fails to secure Kurdish self-determination or protect linguistic and cultural rights, including mother-tongue education. The study interrogates these contradictions, offering a comprehensive critique of Öcalan's ideology and its limited impact on governance, Kurdish identity, and aspirations for autonomy.

Drawing on Öcalan's original Turkish writings, the book challenges prevailing scholarship that often relies on selective translations and sympathetic interpretations. It reveals the foundational limitations of Öcalan's approach, exposing the structural barriers it sustains and its complicity in perpetuating Turkification tendencies under the guise of Kurdish politics.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書批判性地檢視了阿卜杜拉·奧賽蘭(Abdullah Öcalan)於2005年提出的「民主聯邦制」提案及其理論和實踐意涵。儘管其聲稱超越民族國家模型,奧賽蘭的計畫卻未能挑戰土耳其、波斯和阿拉伯國家的殖民結構,反而合法化了這些國家的同化和種族滅絕傾向。它未能確保庫爾德人的自決權或保護語言和文化權利,包括母語教育。本研究質疑這些矛盾,對奧賽蘭的意識形態及其對治理、庫爾德身份和自治願望的有限影響提供了全面的批評。

本書基於奧賽蘭的原始土耳其文著作,挑戰了當前學術界常依賴的選擇性翻譯和同情性詮釋。它揭示了奧賽蘭方法的根本局限性,暴露了其所維持的結構性障礙及其在庫爾德政治的幌子下持續推動土耳其化傾向的共謀。
