The Ambiguities of Kurdish “Nationalism”
The notion that the trajectory of Kurdish political activism inevitably leads to separatism is widely held amongst political elites in Ankara, Tehran, Baghdad, and Damascus. Indeed, in certain ways, they share this view with the most ardent of Kurdish nationalists who see the creation of a sovereign Kurdish nation-state as the only possible definitive solution to the Middle East’s “Kurdish question”.

The Bingham Lecture: 'Parliament under strain: culture, norms and rule-breaking in the House of Commons since 2009'
Join us online or in person for the 2022 Bingham Lecture:
'Parliament under strain: culture, norms and rule-breaking in the House of Commons since 2009'
In her lecture, Emma Crewe will reflect on the erosion of standards in parliament and examine the role played by culture in ethical decline or revival. She will ask if the rhythms of parliamentary work are too frenetic to allow for the kind of reflection and debate needed to improve moral understanding and integrity and examine how we can hold politicians to account without making their position impossible.
