Political Communication and the Media in Kurdistan Political Communication and the Media in Kurdistan Ahmed Hama Gharib Abdullah Omar Bali A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Sheffield Hallam University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Media and communication (Ph.D) January 2016 1 Abstract This thesis examines how the Kurdish media communicate political issues in relation to corruption, reform, government performance, and citizens' trust. In particular it investigates how young people understand and respond to political issues across the media and how their social and political backgrounds affect their evaluation of the government’s performance and the role of elections in the political process. This investigation is combined with how media professionals view editorial policy of news coverage of political issues and freedom to access the public sector. This thesis employs a combination of methods: content and framing analysis to examine five media platforms; focus groups, interviews and semi-structured interviews to elicit the views of young people and media editors; a thematic analysis is employed to assess the data gathered from both young people and media editors. Overall, the findings indicated that both the ruling party’s media and the opposition media, particularly the television channels, focus on using magnifying frames and localising frames in their coverage of the political issues with varying degrees. Each of them reflects the same reality differently which in turn leads to the viewers and readers become divided into two categories. This diversity of framing news coverage is due to the media discourse of the ruling party and opposition media and the political background of the young people as well. This research has revealed the need, especially from young people, for the establishment of a national media that strike a balance between the opposition and ruling parties and offer coverage of political issues without the direct influence of political parties. 2 Acknowledgments First and foremost, I would like to pay my sincere gratitude to the director of my research project Rinella Cere. She provided me with excellent academic guidance during her three years’ supervision and it must have been really tiring for her because my thesis was not supervised by any other supervisors, unlike other PhD students who are usually allocated to a team of supervisors. Special thanks goes to the Kurdistan Regional Government for its great initiative in sending me amongst other students to complete their studies abroad with the avowed aim of building a Kurdish society that has received little attention throughout the period of the Iraqi regimes. Since the announcement of my name on the list of the mission scholarships, I have felt a special responsibility to learn more in order to serve the people of my country to the best of my abilities. I would like to thank my friend Nicholas Mackey a lecturer in English language in Leicester for his help with the linguistic correction and proof reading of the research project. During the research project I have improved in the process of academic writing due to his guidance. Also a special thanks to the participants of the research project in the focus groups, in depth interviews and semi-structured interviews. In addition I really wish to thank Dr Sabir Bokani the Head of Media Studies at the University of Sulaymaniyah and Dr Anwar Mohamed the Dean of the Faculty of Law and Political Science. Both of them have appreciated my research and offered me support in conducting the focus groups. In this regards, I want to thank the lecturers and administrative staff at the University of Sulaymaniyah who helped to organise the participants in the research. Additional thanks go to my family, particularly my brother Dr Kanaan, who always listens to me and supports me. He has really taken the role of a parent and without him I could not imagine being in this position as he always asks me to do my best. Once again I thank my parents for my wonderful upbringing along with my brothers and sisters, who constantly make me feel their tenderness, love and respect. Finally, my deepest gratitude goes to my wife for her wholehearted support and encouragement to enable me to complete this research perfectly. 3 Contents Abstract .................................................................................................................... 2 Acknowledgments .................................................................................................... 3 Contents .................................................................................................................. 4 List of acronyms and abbreviations .......................................................................... 7 List of Tables............................................................................................................ 8 Chapter one ............................................................................................................. 9 1.

About Legitimacy and Citizenship in the Arab World Legitimacy and Citizenship in the Arab World is a project within the Civil Society and Conflict Research Unit at the London School of Economics. The project looks into the gap in understanding legitimacy between external policy-makers, who are more likely to hold a procedural notion of legitimacy, and local citizens who have a more substantive conception, based on their lived experiences. Moreover, external policymakers often assume that conflicts in the Arab world are caused by deep- seated divisions usually expressed in terms of exclusive identities.

  • A Kurdish-Speaking Community of Change: How Social and Political Organising Takes Shape in the PYD-Controlled Areas in Syria
    A Kurdish-Speaking Community of Change: How Social and Political Organising takes Shape in the PYD-controlled Areas in Syria Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts In Middle Eastern Studies Author: Harriet Ida Rump Advisor: Lory Janelle Dance Examiner: Vittorio Felci Date: 11.12.14 Acknowledgements I devote my deepest gratitude to the brave and engaged participants of this research, without their reflections, insights, and generous will to share ideas, this thesis would never have been realised. In the same breath I sincerely thank Lina Myritz for taking the travel with me to Syria, and for inspiring me continuously. I strongly thank my supervisor Lory Dance, she is an inspirational role model with her critical thoughts and writings, which open up for new methods of research. I am particularly appreciative of all the inputs and perspectives from Farhiya Khalid, Mia Sung Kjaergaard, Søren Rafn, Frederik Johannisson, and Mette Lundsfryd, who all have encouraged me with significant comments. A special thank goes to Lasse Sander for carefully proofreading the thesis in high speed. Finally, for the love and support of all my wonderful friends and family, I am truly thankful. 2 Abstract This thesis explores current trends in social and political organising in Northern Syria, an area controlled by the PYD.1 The research is built on discussions between eight participants from the Syrian Kurdish-speaking community living in the areas. While most discourses on Syria and the Kurdish-speaking community have a macro-political focus and produce racialising descriptions of “Kurdishness” in Syria, less attention is granted to bottom-up organising and the plurality of Kurdishness.

  • Deep State of Crisis
    Deep State of Crisis: Re-Assessing Risks to the Turkish State March 2017 Staff Blaise Misztal Director of National Security Nicholas Danforth Senior Policy Analyst Jessica Michek Policy Analyst Contributors Ryan Gingeras Associate Professor, Naval Postgraduate School DISCLAIMER The findings and recommendations expressed herein do not necessarily represent the views or opinions of the Bipartisan Policy Center’s founders or its board of directors. 1 bipartisanpolicy.org Executive Summary The accelerating erosion of Turkish democracy over the past decade has often been described in terms of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s authoritarian ambitions and growing accumulation of personal power. Yet what this undeniably accurate narrative sometimes fails to convey is the extent to which Erdoğan’s authoritarianism has weakened the Turkish state itself. In previous decades, the term deep state was used to describe the secret, usually sinister forces that were operating in conjunction with the Turkish military and bureaucracy to control the country beyond the reach of the elected government. While the deep state was often blamed for acts such as bombings and assassinations that spread chaos, it was always seen to be acting with an intended purpose, such as laying the groundwork for a military coup. In recent years, some observers argued that Erdoğan had at long last vanquished the deep state, while others argued he had simply created a new one under his own control. The reality appears far messier and more dangerous than either of those two alternatives. Beneath the swirling conspiracies that mark political rhetoric in Turkey today there is a profound insecurity about who truly governs the country.

  • The Kurds: New Perspectives?
    The Kurds: new perspectives? Standard Note: SNIA/6708 Last updated: 14 August 2013 Author: Ben Smith Section International Affairs and Defence Section • The Arab uprisings and, in particular, the Syrian conflict have thrown most assumptions about the region and its borders in doubt, with relevance to the stateless Kurdish people. • The increasing autonomy of the Kurdish region of Iraq has been a dramatic change. The possibility that Syrian Kurdistan will go the same way has meant that traditional alliances have been questioned. • Turkey, traditionally hostile to Kurdish autonomy, has changed tack recently, pursuing peace with Turkish Kurds and building economic bridges with the Kurdish Autonomous Region of Iraq. • Looking ahead, and bearing in mind the fragility of the Iraqi and Syrian polities and even the Iranian regime, some have talked of a ‘Kurdish Spring’, with the possibility of further autonomy or even the creation of a Kurdish state. • It is plausible that Turkish, Iraqi and Syrian Kurds will come out of the present instability with more autonomy but the situation is fraught with danger and further violence is possible for a number of reasons. • A pan-Kurdish state is unlikely to emerge in the foreseeable future.

  • Muslih Irwani Implementing Social Security Programmes in Post
    Implementing Social Security Programmes in Post-conflict Iraqi Kurdistan Region: The Case of ‘Social Safety Net’ and ‘Rights and Privileges to Families of Martyrs and Genocide Survivors’ After 2001 By Muslih Irwani (BA, MA) Thesis Submitted to the University of Nottingham For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy February 2014 Abbreviation List of Names KRG Kurdistan Regional Government RPFMGS Rights and Privileges to Families of Martyrs and Genocide Survivors MoMA Ministry of Martyrs and Anfal Affairs MoLSA Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs SPF Social Protection Fund FPF Family Protection Fund SSN Social Safety Net KDP Kurdistan Democratic Party PUK Patriotic Union of Kurdistan KNA Kurdistan National Assembly IKF Iraqi Kurdistan Front UNSC United Nations Security Council OFFP Oil-for-Food Programme II Abstract By drawing on the hegemony of politics over the administration and social policy in the Kurdistan Region, researching the implementation of social security programmes is critically important for understanding the outlook of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) towards social policy. This research broadly examines policy implementation theories within the context of this politically underdeveloped region, taking into account the social security programmes of the KRG as a case study. Primary questions could be asked here, such as what are the critical factors in the implementation of social security in the KRG? Why has the KRG not adopted and implemented an effective social policy with its developmental programmes since its relative economic growth in 2001? My focused question in the current research is: why has the KRG implemented its two main social cash transfers (‘Rights and Privileges to Families of Martyrs and Genocide Survivors’ and ‘Social Safety Net’) differently? Exploring these cases would favour understanding of the extent to which the political conditions of the Kurdistan Region have influenced the implementation of social benefit schemes of the KRG.

  • Democratisation = Greater Gender Equality?
    Democratisation = greater gender equality? A report on whether women in the Palestinian territories and Iraqi Kurdistan are experiencing greater equality since the beginning of the process of democracy Kvinnor för Fred Karin Jonegård 1) FOREWORD The question of women’s rights has always been close to my heart, which is why writing my Master’s thesis in political science on the subject of gender equality was a natural choice. My thesis gradually developed into this report, which looks at whether women in Iraqi Kurdistan and the Palestinian territories experience greater equality since the democratisation process be- gan. The background to the choice of topic is that while doing voluntary work within the peace and women’s movement I had realised that there are few studies into how women themselves experience their situation in the Middle East. Others often speak about or for them, and it is rare to hear the women’s own voices in the discussions on their situation. For this reason, I decided at the beginning of 2010 to travel to Iraqi Kurdistan and the Palestinian territories/Israel, together with Maria Hagberg from the Swedish organisation Kvinnor för Fred (Women for Peace) to interview women about their life situation. Kvinnor för Fred is a non-political, non-religious association which works for peace on women’s terms and has had a number of forms of cooperation with the women’s movements in these two regions, which is why they were natural destinations. While we were there, we had the opportunity to interview women and men who were engaged in women’s rights and we gathered several hours of material from these interviews.

  • Dynamics of Kurdish Identity Formation in the Kurdistan Region-Iraq
    Dynamics of Kurdish identity formation in the Kurdistan Region-Iraq between 1991 and 2014 By: Dilshad H. Khdhir SID: 4078663 Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2015 Abstract This study is built around two core questions. Firstly, what constitutes the formation of Kurdish identity in the Kurdistan Region-Iraq (KRI)? Secondly, what have the inner dynamics of this process been since 1991? Two major theoretical approaches are used to address these questions, namely ethno-symbolism and political discourse theory (PDT). These theories are utilised to approach the research questions on two levels: the cultural-historical and the political; and result in four major findings regarding the inner dynamics of collective identity formation in the KRI. Firstly, it is found that actors active in the process of collective identity formation are primarily nationalist political parties and intellectuals. Secondly, that Kurdish identity in the region forms around ‘Kurdish’ ethnic, cultural and historical features. Thirdly, that a large set of cultural and historical tools have been utilised to produce Kurdish identity in the KRI. Fourthly, that different forms of Kurdish identity have been produced in the KRI, meaning that Kurdishness in the region is split, fragmented, relational and crisis-ridden. This study also argues that the process of Kurdish identity formation in the KRI from 1991 to 2014 can be divided into three I historic phases. The first of these stretched from 1991 to 2003 and saw the ambiguous development of a traditional Kurdish ethno- nationalist identity; the second lasted from 2003 to 2009 and saw the development of an ambiguous Kurdish nationalist identity; whilst the third stretches from 2009 to the present and has seen Kurdish identity acquire a civic character in response to newly emerged political, social and economic conditions in the KRI.

The current administration assumed office in 2006 after the Council of Representatives (COR) approved a unity government composed of the major political parties. The 2005 COR elections establishing this government met internationally recognized electoral standards for free and fair elections, and the results of the elections reflected the will of the voters, according to the final report of the International Mission for Iraqi Elections. During the year, the general security situation in the country improved substantially. Violence decreased to the lowest level since 2004, although attacks on military, police, and civilians continued. Compared to the previous year, civilian deaths from violence during the year fell 47 percent to an average of seven civilian deaths per day and Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) deaths from violence fell by 52 percent to an average of 1.4 ISF deaths per day. Successful ISF operations contributed to decreasing violence by consolidating government control of areas Shia special groups and other extremists previously dominated. Sectarian killing declined due to the continued observance, except by some breakaway factions, of a series of unilateral ceasefires the Shia militia Jaysh al-Mahdi (JAM) first announced in 2007, and the continued efforts of "Sons of Iraq" (SOI) neighborhood security forces –- initiated in 2007 and 2008 and mostly affiliated with Sunni tribal groups –- to undermine the influence of the terrorist group Al-Qa'ida in Iraq (AQI) and other largely Sunni extremists.
