Building on theory from the democratization and democracy promotion literature, we ...

摘要:The period since the 1990s has witnessed the expanding political influence of the Kurdish movement across the country as well as a transformation in the welfare system, manifesting itself mainly in the emergence of extensive social assistance programs.
