Kurdistan has a long and turbulent history. Today, it faces a future branching in directions that could lead it towards success or disaster, freedom or renewed oppression. It could lead the region to the point where it might finally be able to provide an independent homeland for the Kurds, forming a nation state in its own right rather than the autonomous region of Iraq that it currently is.How did Kurdistan get into that position, and what will be required to bring about independence? What factors will need to come together for the project to work, and what threats will the newly formed country face? This book discusses the current situation in Kurdistan, the impact of the conflict in the wider region, and the likely steps required for Kurdistan to achieve independence. It explores issues of economics, culture and security essential to Kurdistan's future, as well as what it can do to overcome potential sources of opposition to the change.Kurdistan potentially has a very bright future as an independent nation. This book aims to show how it can achieve it.
