It is very common for academics to look at examples of conflict resolution and democratization elsewhere in order to recommend what can and should be done to solve the Kurdish question in Turkey. There is, for example, a tendency to draw on lessons from case studies from places such as Northern Ireland where the politics of recognition have been relatively successful in subduing ethnic conflict and tensions. Less common are attempts to understand why the ethnocentric multiculturalist solutions which have featured in some of the most successful examples of conflict resolution internationally have not been, and cannot actually be, effectively applied in Turkey. This chapter adds to the empirical evidence provided earlier in the book in respect of the Kurdish case in Turkey and also touches upon the case of Corsica where ethnocentric multiculturalist projects have failed in some respects. In doing so, the chapter answers questions about where and when autonomy, as promoted by ethnocentric multiculturalism, is likely to be a democratic and realistic solution that subdues violent conflicts. It will also illustrate where the Kurds stand in relation to this bigger picture.
