In particular, it focuses on internal processes in Kurdistan-Iraq and Palestine (Palestinian Territory of the West Bank and Gaza Strip) in their specific shaping, development and transformation. The contributing authors analyze the transformation processes of the internal power structures, the economic basics, and the civil societies and provide an overview of the current political, economic and societal situation and challenges in both regions. The book presents the similarities and differences between both de facto states with regard to a set of guidelines: legitimacy, power relations, transformation of politics and society. It provides empirical explanations and contributes to a better understanding of both de facto states. 606 $aMiddle East$xPolitics and government 606 $aComparative government 606 $aRegionalism 606 $aPeace 606 $aMiddle Eastern Politics 606 $aComparative Politics 606 $aRegionalism 606 $aPeace and Conflict Studies 615 0$aMiddle East$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aComparative government. 615 0$aRegionalism. 615 0$aPeace. 615 14$aMiddle Eastern Politics. 615 24$aComparative Politics. 615 24$aRegionalism. 615 24$aPeace and Conflict Studies. 676 $a320.956 686 $a327$2z 702 $aGu?rbey$b Gu?listan 702 $aHofmann$b Sabine 702 $aIbrahim Seyder$b Ferhad 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255300903321 996 $aBetween State and Non-State$92000068 997 $aUNINA
