This book was released on 2005 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study is to examine some key issues in the Kurdish situation, highlighting the ongoing debate on the issue of autonomy in their own nation-state of Kurdistan, and to point out hwy the US can no longer ignore the wishes of approximately 25 million people in formulating its plans for the future of the Middle East. The study ahs several related aims, the first, taking an historical perspective, is to provide an insight into the popular mentality and culture whereby the extent of allegiance to the concept of Kurdish national sovereignty may be objectively evaluated. The second aim of the thesis is to question the contemporary reality of the concept and examine the conflicts, political ideologies and the depth of common purpose within the various Kurdish nationalist movements. The third, using the example of the Kurdish Autonomous Region of Southern Kurdistan, is to attempt to determine whether Kurdish nationalist ideals can be successfully translated into a bona-fide political system of authority, political equanimity, economic freedom and social justice, in sufficient measure as to effectively govern an autonomous state in a 'Greater Kurdistan'. The fourth objective is to speculate on the effects that a renewed impetus for Kurdish independence will have on the relationship between the Kurdish and 'the West', and the possible implications for America's plans for democratic government of states in the Middle East." -- Intro.
Book Synopsis Kurdish Politics in the Middle East by : Nader Entessar
Download or read book Kurdish Politics in the Middle East written by Nader Entessar and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2010 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kurdish Politics in the Middle East analyzes political and social dimensions of Kurdish integration into the mainstream socio-political life in Iran, Iraq, and Turkey. Its central thesis is that ethnic conflict constitutes a major challenge to the contemporary nation-state system in the Middle East. Long vanquished is the illusion of the "melting pot," or the concept that assimilation is an inexorable process produced by "modernization" and the emergence of a relatively strong and centralized nation-state system in the region. Perhaps no single phenomenon highlights this thesis more than the historical Kurdish struggle for self-determination. This book's focus is on Kurdish politics and its relationship with broader regional and global developments that affect the Kurds. It does not claim to cover everything Kurdish, and it does not promote the political agenda of any group, movement, or country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The changes brought by the Arab Spring and ensuing developments in the Middle East have made the Kurds an important force in the region. Tel-Aviv and Washington place high hopes on Erbil to facilitate their dealings with Baghdad, Damascus, Teheran and Ankara. Kurds living in Turkey, Syria and Iran have been inspired by the successes of their brethren in Iraq who managed to gain significant independence and make remarkable achievements in state building. The idea of a greater Kurdistan is in the air. This book focuses on how the Kurds have become a new and significant force in Middle Eastern politics. International expert contributors conceptualize current developments putting them into theoretical perspective, helping us to better understand the potential role the Kurds could play in the Middle East.
Book Synopsis Comparative Kurdish Politics in the Middle East by : Emel Elif Tugdar
Download or read book Comparative Kurdish Politics in the Middle East written by Emel Elif Tugdar and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume introduces the political, social and economic intra-Kurdish dynamics in the Middle East by comparatively analyzing the main actors, their ideas, and political interests. As an ethnic group and a nation in the making, Kurds are not homogeneous and united but rather the Kurdish Middle East is home to various competing political groups, leaderships, ideologies, and interests. Although many existing studies focus on the Kurds and their relations with the nation-states that they populate, few studies analyze the Kurdish Middle East within its own debates, conflicts and interests from a comparative perspective across Iran, Iraq, Turkey, and Syria. This book analyzes the intra-Kurdish dynamics with historically-grounded, theoretically-informed, and conceptually-relevant scholarship that prioritizes comparative politics over international relations.
Book Synopsis The Kurds and US Foreign Policy by : Marianna Charountaki
Download or read book The Kurds and US Foreign Policy written by Marianna Charountaki and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-10-18 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a detailed survey and analysis of US–Kurdish relations and their interaction with domestic, regional and global politics. Using the Kurdish issue to explore the nature of the engagement between international powers and weaker non-state entities, the author analyses the existence of an interactive US relationship with the Kurds of Iraq. Drawing on governmental archives and interviews with political figures both in Northern Iraq and the United States, the author places the case study within a broader International Relations context. The conceptual framework centres on the inter-relations between actors (both state and non-state) and structures of material and ideational kinds, while the detailed survey and analysis of US–Kurdish relations, in their interaction with domestic, regional and global politics, forms the empirical core of the study. Stressing the intertwining of domestic and foreign policy as part of the same set of dynamics, the case study explains the emergence of the interactive and institutionalized US relationship with the Kurds of Iraq that has brought about the formation, within an Iraqi framework, of an undeclared US official Kurdish policy in the post-Saddam era. Filling a gap in the literature on US–Kurdish relations as well as the broader topic of International Relations, this book will be of great interest to those in the areas of International Relations, Middle Eastern and Kurdish Politics.

Book Synopsis Kurdistan by : Christopher R. Parsons
Download or read book Kurdistan written by Christopher R. Parsons and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines the past, present, and potential future conditions of the Kurdish struggle for recognition and independence related to the potential impact on U.S. policy in the region. It examines the history of the Kurds leading to the current conditions in the region. The relationship within the Iraqi central government, the amount of internal Arab-Kurd conflict, and the development of a separate economic base in Northern Iraq can have critical impact on U.S. vital interests and security agreements between the United States and Iraq. The disruption of stability and security within Turkey and Iran by Kurdish opposition groups further complicates relations with both countries. How does the Kurdish development impact the relations within and among Iraq, Turkey, and Iran, and between those countries and the United States? Will a potential common foreign policy concern and desire for influence in the region, by both Turkey and Iran, impact the U.S policy for the region? This paper answers these questions and explores potential U.S. policy options for the region and U.S. vital interests.
Book Synopsis The Kurds in a Changing Middle East by : Faleh A. Jabar
Download or read book The Kurds in a Changing Middle East written by Faleh A. Jabar and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-28 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kurds are one of the largest stateless nations in the world, numbering more than 20 million people. Their homeland lies mostly within the present-day borders of Turkey, Iraq and Iran as well as parts of Syria, Armenia and Azerbaijan. Yet until recently the 'Kurdish question' - that is, the question of Kurdish self-determination - seemed, to many observers, dormant. It was only after the so-called Arab Spring, and with the rise of the Islamic State, that they emerged at the centre of Middle East politics. But what is the future of the Kurdish national movement? How do the Kurds themselves understand their community and quest for political representation? This book analyses the major problems, challenges and opportunities currently facing the Kurds. Of particular significance, this book shows, is the new Kurdish society that is evolving in the context of a transforming Middle East. This is made of diverse communities from across the region who represent very different historical, linguistic, political, social and cultural backgrounds that are yet to be understood. This book examines the recent shifts and changes within Kurdish societies and their host countries, and argues that the Kurdish national movement requires institutional and constitutional recognition of pluralism and diversity. Featuring contributions from world-leading experts on Kurdish politics, this timely book combines empirical case studies with cutting-edge theory to shed new light on the Kurds of the 21st century.

Book Synopsis Kurdish Nationalism: American Interests and Policy Options by :
Download or read book Kurdish Nationalism: American Interests and Policy Options written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kurds are currently the largest nation of people without their own country. They are divided among several states, predominantly Iran, Iraq and Turkey where they constitute large minorities. They have persistently been used as pawns by these countries and others, including the United States; only to be ignored once supporting them has no longer been beneficial. The Kurdish struggle for an independent homeland has repeatedly erupted into violence throughout history. To date there has been no permanent solution that has been acceptable to both the Kurds and the states they live in. This thesis will examine the history of the Kurdish struggle in order to understand how their experiences have shaped the current conditions, and to help develop an effective, long term American policy to control the situation. It will examine how the lessons of the past can be applied to policies today. The Kurdish struggle has periodically disrupted the stability and security of three of the largest nations in the Middle East. In this area, which is of vital interest to the United States, these movements threaten the fragile stability of the region. The recurring nature of these rebellions implies that it is only a matter of time before one directly threatens our interests in the area. For this reason, a thorough understanding of the Kurdish struggle is necessary.

Download or read book Kurdish Autonomy and U.S. Foreign Policy written by Vera Eccarius-Kelly and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developments in Iranian Kurdish areas are indirectly evaluated in relation to the Kurdistan Independence Referendum and the Islamic Republic's ferocious repression of Kurdish movements (predominantly driven by the theocratic regime's fear of broader domestic opposition). The chapter contributions center on the question of how past U.S.-Kurdish relations could shape the future of U.S. preferences in the region. Scholars in the field examine whether the United States will ever support Kurdish autonomy movements, and if so, under what conditions.
Book Synopsis The Geopolitics of the Middle East by : International Institute for Strategic Studies
Download or read book The Geopolitics of the Middle East written by International Institute for Strategic Studies and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Complete set Since 1961 the Adelphi Papers have provided some of the most informed accounts of international and strategic relations. Produced by the world renowned International Institute of Strategic Studies, each paper provides a short account of a subject of topical interest by a leading military figure, policy maker or academic. The project reprints the first forty years of papers, arranged into thematic sets. The collection as a whole provides a rich and insightful account of international affairs during a period which spans the second half of the Cold War, the fall of the communist bloc and the emergence of a new regime with the United States as the sole superpower. There is a wealth of global coverage: Four volumes on east and southeast Asia as well as individual volumes on China, Japan and Korea Particular attention is given to the Middle East, with volumes addressing internal sources of instability; geo-politics and the role of the superpowers; the Israel-Palestine conflict; and the Iran-Iraq War and the first Gulf War. There is also a volume on oil and insecurity There are also two volumes on Africa, the site of most of the world's wars during the period. The IISS has obviously made a particular contribution to the understanding of military strategy, and this is reflected with material on topics such as urban and guerrilla warfare, nuclear deterrence and the role of information in modern warfare. Volumes on military strategy are complemented by approaches from other disciplines, such as defence economics. Key selling points: Early papers were only distributed by the IISS and will have achieved limited penetration of the academic market A host of major authors on a range of different subjects (eg Gerald Segal on China, Michael Leifer on Southeast Asia, Sir Lawrence Freidman on the revolution in military affairs, Raymond Vernon on multinationals and defence economics) Individual volumes will have a strong appeal to different markets (eg the volume on defence economics for economists, various volumes for Asian Studies etc)
