Recent unrest and political upheaval in Iraq and Georgia have
brought attention to the place of minority populations in both
countries. Using Iraqi Kurds and the Abkhaz of Georgia as case
studies, this book addresses how ethnic identities become
politicized across boundaries by states and political
entrepreneurs, leading to mobilization of ethnic populations. This
book bridges Middle Eastern studies with Post-Soviet studies,
exploring the commonalities of cases in these regions to draw out
patterns in cases of ethnic mobilization. It also provides a
theoretical framework to examine the process of ethnic
mobilization. Building on this theoretical framework, the book
provides a detailed empirical analysis of the case studies of the
Kurds in Iraq and the Abkhaz in Georgia. Analysis of both cases
shows several common variables in cases of ethnic mobilization,
including ethnic entrepreneurs, political opportunity structure,
ethnic identity politicization, and resource mobilization. These
variables form the environment in which ethnic mobilization occurs,
motivated by such factors as state policy towards ethnic groups and
external intervention to support ethnic groups.
