Beskrivning
The Kurdish Model of Political Community: A Vision of National Liberation Defiant of the Nation-State undertakes a task long due in Kurdish studies: addressing common misunderstandings about and outlining theoretical implications of Kurdish politics. 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.

Recensioner i media
This book argues that Kurds in Turkey and Syria should strive to achieve self-determination not via ethnonationalism or a national state, but rather by means of libertarian municipalism.... The "Kurdish model" [the authors] advocate should increase understanding of citizenship, cultural/territorial boundaries, and autonomous/self-rule.
