Written in English, it is the first book to capture the momentous transformations that have taken place since 2011. The authors go beyond idealized images of Rojava and the Kurdish PYD (Democratic Union Party) to offer a nuanced assessment of the Kurdish autonomous experience and the prospects for self-rule in Syria.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book draws on extensive field research and a thorough analysis of the literature on Kurdish politics and the Syrian war. It sheds light on why the PYD-led project in Syria split the Kurdish political movement and explores how other representative structures among Syria's Kurds have fared. It also presents a diverse range of views on pre-existing, current, and future governance structures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy providing a comprehensive and nuanced perspective on the Kurdish autonomous experience in Syria, this book is a valuable contribution to the understanding of the complex political dynamics in the region. It will be of interest to scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of Syria and the role of minority groups in shaping its destiny.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 412g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 233 x 158 x 15 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781838604455                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harriet Allsopp,Wladimir van Wilgenburg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44094239932666,"sku":"9781838604455","price":24.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/73c9891a45946011d948c1273f2e7bac.jpg?v=1623975676","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/kurds-of-northern-syria-governance-diversity-and-conflicts","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
