Long inhabiting the geostrategic area where Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria now converge in the Middle East, the 25 million or more Kurds constitute the largest “nation” on earth without being an independent state. The 2003 war that eliminated Saddam Hussein’s regime internationalized the Kurdish issue by reinforcing the existence of a de facto state of Kurdistan in northern Iraq, which in turn significantly affected the policies of Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Syria, and the United States, among others. At the same time, Turkey’s EU candidacy has made the Kurdish people more significant in global policies. Michael M. Gunter is a professor of political science at Tennessee Technological University in Cookeville, Tennessee. He has written five scholarly books and numerous articles on Kurdish issues.
