In Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria, central governments historically
pursued mono-nationalist ideologies and repressed Kurdish identity.
As evidenced by much unrest and a great many Kurdish revolts in all
these states since the 1920s, however, the Kurds manifested strong
resistance towards ethnic chauvinism. What sorts of authoritarian
state policies have Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria relied on to
contain the Kurds over the years? Can meaningful democratization
and liberalization in any of these states occur without a
fundamental change vis-a-vis their Kurdish minorities? To what
extent does the Kurdish issue function as both a barrier and key to
democratization in four of the most important states of the Middle
East? While many commentators on the Middle East stress the
importance of resolving the Arab-Israeli dispute for achieving
'peace in the Middle East,' this book asks whether or not the often
overlooked Kurdish issue may constitute a more important fulcrum
for change in the region, especially in light of the 'Arab Spring'
and recent changes in Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria.
