CALL FOR PAPER- Journal of Iranian-Kurdish Studies
Posted on 11. Aug, 2009 by KSSO in Community, News
The Journal of Iranian-Kurdish (KI3) Studies is a multi-disciplinary journal devoted to the study of the Kurd-ish issue in Iran. Beside articles that deal with various empirical aspects of the Kurdish issue in Iran, the journal also welcomes contributions with a focus on conceptual and theoretical issues that are relevant for the analysis as well as the resolution of the Kurdish issue, i.e. federalism, shared and divided sovereignty, multina-tional democracy and so on.
For this special issue, contributors are invited to reflect on the present condition of the Kurds in Iranian Kurdistan in light of recent political developments domestically in Iran as well as in neighbouring Iraq. Whereas Iranians in the major cities of the country engaged in prolonged protests following the presidential elec-tion of 2009, the inhabitants of Iranian Kurdistan did take part in the protests. How is this phenomenon to be interpreted? Iraqi Kurdistan and the rest of Iraq are in the midst of a restructuring along federal lines, the outcome of which is still uncertain, however. At the same time, the United States has declared that it will withdraw its forces from Iraq by the end of 2011. How and in which way are the trends and future develop-ments in Iraq going to affect the Kurds in Iranian Kurdistan?
You are kindly invited to submit your proposal with title and a short summary (approximately 1000 characters with breaks) until 30th of September 2009. The summaries can be sent to the following addresses: kurdishis-sue.iran@gmail.com
