Summary/Abstract |
WHEN OPERATION Odyssey Dawn commenced in the skies over Libya on March 19, 2011, it represented a major turnaround in U.S. policy. Only nine months earlier, U.S. ambassador Gene Cretz had characterized the regime as a "strategic ally" of the United States due to Libyan cooperation on counterterrorism and nonproliferation issues (and its halting, tentative steps toward greater openness). Now Libya found itself on the receiving end of conventional U.S. military power for repressing a civilian population agitating for governmental change.

Summary/Abstract |
This comparative article discusses the local dynamics of interethnic violence and separatist movement in Turkey and Indonesia, and examines the role of the central governments in these two countries in responding to, and resolving, the conflict and separatism. More specifically, the article focuses on Turkish–Kurdish conflict and Indonesian–Acehnese violence, and explores perspectives of the secessionist groups of Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and Free Aceh Movement (GAM) with regard to the quest of justice and conciliation. The heart of this article is to investigate the dynamics of micropolitics of political reconciliation and attempts at conflict resolution and peacebuilding between Ankara and PKK as well as Jakarta and GAM aiming at identifying the root causes underlying Turkey’s failure and Indonesia’s success in addressing their ethnic problems.

Summary/Abstract |
The Kurds are the fourth-largest ethnic group in the Middle East, divided between five countries. Despite political and geographical segregation, they share a common culture and history, leading to the belief that they possess similar attitudes. We investigated abortion attitudes among 1473 Kurds in Iraq and Iran using WVS data during 2000–2020. Results revealed an overall increase in positive attitudes towards abortion, though scores remained below average. Initially, the differences were negligible, but divergence occurred in 2020. Cultural factors and higher education had the most significant impact on attitudes. Iraqi Kurds consistently scored higher, and the differences were particularly significant in 2020. These findings confirmed the impact of macrostructures on attitudes. Iraqi Kurdistan’s secular federal government facilitates legal abortion under medical conditions. Conversely, Iranian Kurdistan is under the domination of a centralized Islamic government that has restricted all types of abortion, resulting in a more restrictive abortion attitude.
