The Kurdish Model of Political Community: A Vision of National Liberation Defiant of the Nation-State - Hardcover

by Hanifi Baris (Author)

National sovereignty entails exclusive ownership of territories and natural resources, which often leads to uncompromising domination and subjugation of life by a central political authority. In a stark contrast, the Kurdish vision of political community invokes communal sovereignty, which is detached from the nation and the territorial state.
