The Kurdish Liberation Movement in Iraq: From Insurgency to Statehood: Routledge Studies in Middle Eastern Politics

Autor Yaniv Voller
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 dec 2019
Investigating the transformation of the Kurdish liberation movement in Iraq this book explores its development from an armed guerrilla movement, engaged in a war for liberation with the government in Baghdad, into the government of a de facto Kurdish state known as the Kurdistan Regional Government.


The book seeks to better explain the nature and evolution of the Kurdish liberation struggle in Iraq, which has had important implications over regional geopolitics. Despite attracting growing international attention, the struggle remains understudied. By applying the theoretical framework of de facto statehood to the post-1991 Kurdish liberation movement, the book offers a new approach to understanding the struggle, with a thorough empirical investigation informed by International Relations theory.


Identifying international legitimacy, interaction and identity as significant themes in the politics of de facto states and important variables shaping the evolution and policies of these actors, at both the domestic and international levels, this book will be of interest to students and researchers of International Relations, Middle East Politics and Political Science.

Recenzii

I read the book entitled "The Kurdish Liberation Movement in Iraq: From Insurgency to Statehood" while I was writing a chapter on the Kurds of Iraq for the Encyclopedia of Modern Ethnic Conflicts in December 2014. What grabbed my attention was the books research design. It would not be wrong to argue that the vast majority of academic works on the Iraq Kurds include either chronological or policy-oriented research, however, Yaniv Voller's book covers much more than a historical background and policy implications. - Burak Bilgehan ÖZPECK, Department of International Relations. (2014)
Voller embeds his study in the international relations theory of constructivism, which advocates the study of how states themselves understand their own interests and to not assume their interests as suggested by mainstream realist IR theory. Readers may also want to consult Robert Olson's 'The Goat and the Butcher'. - R. W. Olson, University of Kentucky
Whether the krg’s increased legitimacy and economic autonomy will lead to independence will be determined in the near future. By highlighting the significant steps Kurdistan Region has taken toward statehood in the past twenty-five years of its existence, this book provides an insightful examination of this significant political question. - Cengiz Gunes, Bustan: The Middle East Book Review
