This book focuses attention on how the Kurds built the main pillars of a quasi-democratic autonomous federal entity in northern Iraq (Southern Kurdistan), despite considerable internal and external challenges. Shining a light on how Iraqi Kurds used the opportunity created by the aftermath of the 1991 Kurdish uprising to hold elections and form a parliament, and on how Kurdish officials later consolidated their regional government following the 2003 Iraq War, Iraqi Kurds and Nation-Building considers the political and economic shortfalls of the government and the obstacles facing Iraqi Kurds in a country still struggling to emerge from eight years of internal conflict and foreign occupation.
