Description

The Kurds in a Changing Middle East: History, Politics and Representation The Kurds, one of the world's largest stateless nations, have long been a subject of intrigue and debate. With a population of over 20 million, their homeland spans across Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. The 'Kurdish question' - the quest for self-determination - has recently gained renewed attention, particularly in the wake of the Arab Spring and the rise of the Islamic State. This book provides a timely analysis of the major challenges and opportunities currently facing the Kurds. It explores the evolution of a new Kurdish society, shaped by diverse communities from across the region, each with their own unique historical, linguistic, political, social, and cultural backgrounds. Featuring contributions from world-leading experts, the book sheds new light on the Kurds of the 21st century, arguing for the need for institutional and constitutional recognition of pluralism and diversity. By combining empirical case studies with cutting-edge theory, this book offers a nuanced understanding of the complex issues at play in the Middle East, and the future of the Kurdish national movement.
