This book evaluates U.S. foreign policy patterns towards Kurdish
movements in Turkey and Syria and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. In
the first section of the collection, U.S. foreign policy approaches
are examined by comparing multiple U.S. administrations and their
responses to Kurdish demands for autonomy. While Kurds have been
used to advance particular policy interests, several contributors
also identify challenges to Kurdish independence movements linked
to ideological divisions and patronage structures. However, Kurds
could benefit from political changes even if U.S. policy
preferences favor maintaining established borders. In the second
section, several contributors explore the Kurdistan Regional
Government's unfulfilled expectations and the fallout from the 2017
independence referendum. Consecutive U.S. administrations have been
reluctant to destabilize the region, supported efforts by Turkey to
co-opt the KRG, and impeded Kurdish movements in Syria and Turkey.
Finally, the third section analyzes the ways in which Kurdish
movements have responded to long-standing patterns of U.S. foreign
policy preferences. Here contributors examine Kurdish lobbying
efforts in the United States, discuss Kurdish para-diplomacy
activities in a comparative context, and frame the YPG/J's
(People's Protections Units/Women's Protections Units) and PYD's
(Democratic Union Party) project in Syria. Broader power structures
are critically examined by focusing on particular Kurdish movements
and their responses to U.S. foreign policy initiatives.
