Kurdistan in Iraq: The Evolution of a Quasi-State

by Aram Rafaat

Book Overview

The Kurdish-Iraqi conflict lies in the fact that Kurdistan is a nation-without-a-state and Iraq is a non-nation state, each possessing a nationhood project differing from and opposing the other. Iraqi-Kurdistan is an outward looking entity seeking external patronage.
