Kurdish Question Today [Call for papers]
Issue edited by Adel Bakawan and Jean Marcou
The Kurdish question constitutes one of the most enduring and complex political phenomena of the contemporary Middle East. Spanning several nation-states, embedded in shifting geopolitical configurations, and marked by a long history of domination, repression, and resistance, it cannot be reduced to a simple, unfinished claim to statehood. The disruption of global power balances and the profound transformations of the Middle East—reflected in the reconfiguration of authoritarian regimes, the emergence of new armed actors, and the growing centrality of transnational approaches—now require the Kurdish question to be reconsidered in new ways.
