Kurdish political activism has reached a new height in the beginning of the 21st century with Kurdish movements in Iraq, Turkey and Syria establishing themselves as a significant force in the domestic politics of these states. The consolidation of Kurdish autonomy in Iraq and the establishment of a Kurdish de facto autonomous region within Syria is adding to the Kurds' growing influence in the region and enabling Kurds to forge stronger relations with regional and international forces. The author analyses recent developments in the Kurdish question in Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria to understand the inter-connections and inter-dependencies that exist in the transnational Kurdish political space. The book's policy relevance is likely to attract strong interest from policy makers as well as from academics and students in the fields of Middle Eastern Politics and International Relations. 650 0 $a Kurds $z Middle East. 651 0 $a Middle East $x Ethnic relations. 650 7 $a Ethnic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916005 650 7 $a Kurds. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00989403 651 7 $a Middle East. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01241586 830 0 $a Palgrave pivot. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020929.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5C90D4D6462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
