The Future of Kurdistan in Iraq ReviewI was disappointed to read Michael Rubin's review of Brendan O'Leary et al., The Future of Kurdistan in Iraq, where Rubin wrote that my article "Turkey's New Neighbor, Kurdistan" "undercuts the collection's quality" because it simply "rehashes history but does not address mutual security, trade, and Tigris River water allocation." Rubin must have been reading my article with his eyes wide shut because all one has to do is read my pp. 227-29 where, despite what Rubin wrote, I do indeed analyze especially, issues of mutual security as well as trade. My basic argument is that "Turkey needs to realize that as the more powerful partner it could become the natural leader and protector of either a national Kurdistan in a federal Iraq or an independent Kurdistan which would serve as a buffer between Turkey and possible Islamist-driven instability to the south" (p. 229). I also argue that Iraqi Kurdistan "must continue to assure Turkey it will not foment armed rebellion among the Kurds in Turkey, either directly or indirectly" (p. 228). Furthermore, I analyze how "Kurdistan's treatment by Turkey will be inspected by EU parliamentarians determined to ensure that Turkey is worthy of membership [and mention how] Kurdistan in Iraq and Turkey have joint interests in commercial cross-border cooperation" (p. 228). I encourage others to read the rest of my article to judge the accuracy of Rubin's characterization of it as simply an article that "rehashes history." I think others too will be disappointed how Rubin has treated my article in such an inaccurate and cavalier manner.
