Hanifi Baris develops his arguments with an historical examination and finds apathy towards and a resistance to state-building in Kurdistan. Accordingly, Baris argues, this tendency to establish self-government with distaste to state-building has enabled major Kurdish movements in Turkey and Syria to develop a form of political community that constitutes a viable alternative to those based on theocratic, imperial and national sovereignty. Thus, Baris concludes, rather than being a conflict between competing nationalisms, the current Kurdish conflict in Turkey and Syria is between competing visions of political community.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter One: Introduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Two: Autonomy within the State: Non-state Political Communities in Kurdistan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Three: Constitution-Making in the Shadow of the Founding Father\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Four: Autonomy Within and Across Nation-States\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Five: Conclusion","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042604712279,"sku":"9781793600004","price":69.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-kurdish-model-of-political-community-a-vision-of-national-liberation-defiant-of-the-nation-state-9781793600004","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
