dc.description.abstractThis compilation of various research articles focuses on the timing and sequence of decisions made during the years 2005-2017 that placed the Kurdistan Region of Iraq on the trajectory towards an independence referendum. This dissertation dwells on the rivalry and changing balance of power between the two major political parties, the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), as well as the implications from the Goran Party, the War on the Islamic State (IS), and the change in access to oil revenue. I present a process approach that builds upon the intersection of these processes over time resulting in the Iraqi Kurdistan independence referendum. Timing has been an aspect of referenda and secessionist movements that has not been given enough acknowledgement and consideration, and my research seeks to understand these phenomena through timing of decisions and events. The opportunities presented to the Kurdish political actors in 2017 were not present before the arrival of IS and the independence referendum’s timing was due to the interaction and intersection of decisions made by the KDP and PUK on specific events. The purpose of this research is to determine why the Kurdish political actors decided upon an independence referendum in 2017, this is done through analyzing the rivalry between the KDP and PUK, the relationship between Erbil and Baghdad regarding the oil industry, constitutional discrepancies, diplomacy, and the impact of IS. As more groups within states across the world are aspiring towards self-determination and secessionist movements are arising, the Kurdish question is being renewed and has become an important aspect of politics in the Middle East.en
