This book provides a detailed survey and analysis of US-Kurdish
relations and their interaction with domestic, regional and global
politics. Using the Kurdish issue to explore the nature of the
engagement between international powers and weaker non-state
entities, the author analyses the existence of an interactive US
relationship with the Kurds of Iraq. Drawing on governmental
archives and interviews with political figures both in Northern
Iraq and the United States, the author places the case study within
a broader International Relations context. The conceptual framework
centres on the inter-relations between actors (both state and
non-state) and structures of material and ideational kinds, while
the detailed survey and analysis of US-Kurdish relations, in their
interaction with domestic, regional and global politics, forms the
empirical core of the study. Stressing the intertwining of domestic
and foreign policy as part of the same set of dynamics, the case
study explains the emergence of the interactive and
institutionalized US relationship with the Kurds of Iraq that has
brought about the formation, within an Iraqi framework, of an
undeclared US official Kurdish policy in the post-Saddam era.
Filling a gap in the literature on US-Kurdish relations as well as
the broader topic of International Relations, this book will be of
great interest to those in the areas of International Relations,
Middle Eastern and Kurdish Politics.

This edited volume addresses the role of non-state actors (NSAs) in
international relations. From their emergence in the early 20th
century, entities of non-state status have played a role of
increasing prominence in international politics. Scholarly work has
been slow to catch up, approaching NSAs mainly through the scope of
legitimacy and international law or limiting focus to NGOs,
international organizations, and economic corporations. This volume
remedies that, creating a typology of NSAs based on systematic and
coherent analysis.Presenting a series of cases of NSAs across the
continuum of international relations, the chapters firmly ground
NSAs in the ontology of international relations theory.Â
Filling a gap in the current literature, this book will be of
interest to students and researchers of international relations
theory, international politics, international security, diplomatic
history, and European and Middle East politics, as well as
policy-makers and practitioners.

The foreign policies of Turkey and Iran seem increasingly to
dictate the course of events in the Middle East. More recently, and
especially following the Syrian crisis, the spotlight has turned to
these states' dynamic re-entry onto the political stage, revealing
them as key players with an international role in efforts towards
the balance of power across the region. This book traces the major
determinants of Turkish and Iranian foreign policies and their
influence on events in the Middle East. Based on an examination of
these states' politics and policies since 1979, and using material
gathered from interviews with leading political figures from
Turkey, Iran and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, Marianna Charountaki
offers fresh insights into how we understand the contemporary
global order. Of particular importance, this book shows, is the
effect of both external and internal factors on foreign policy and
how the interaction between state and non-state actors informs
political decisions. In placing these issues in a theoretical
framework, Marianna Charountaki pioneers a new conceptual map
within International Relations. An interdisciplinary study that
provides a fresh new perspective, this book will be of particular
interest to scholars of International Relations, Politics, Foreign
Policy, Kurdish and Middle East Studies.
