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. . 606 $aMiddle East$xPolitics and government 606 $aMiddle East$xHistory 606 $aMiddle East$xEconomic conditions 606 $aAfrica, North$xEconomic conditions 606 $aPeace 606 $aMiddle Eastern Politics 606 $aHistory of the Middle East 606 $aMiddle Eastern/North African Economics 606 $aPeace and Conflict Studies 615 0$aMiddle East$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aMiddle East$xHistory. 615 0$aMiddle East$xEconomic conditions. 615 0$aAfrica, North$xEconomic conditions. 615 0$aPeace. 615 14$aMiddle Eastern Politics. 615 24$aHistory of the Middle East. 615 24$aMiddle Eastern/North African Economics. 615 24$aPeace and Conflict Studies. 676 $a320.956 702 $aTugdar$b Emel Elif$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aAl$b Serhun$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300497903321 996 $aComparative Kurdish Politics in the Middle East$92174494 997 $aUNINA
