Abstract
This article answers a historic puzzle: why the military defeat of the insurgent PKK (Partiyah Karkere in Kurdistan), who renounced the secession target, and whose leader was under Turkish arrest, reestablished his forces when there were in Turkey unparalleled opportunities to settle the Kurdish problem peacefully? The PKK's radicalization in Turkey at a time triggered by the EU undermines the common claim that promoting democracy will alleviate ethnic conflict problems. Failure to provide information based on asset mobilization, mechanisms of political incentives, and mental framing. The article argues that democratization is inevitable as long as it brings in a competitive eye against the insurgent organization's democratic dominance of its ethnic electoral district. The survival of the business requires a radicalization rather than compromise under the market conditions.
