Policy Analysis

The GKIP Policy Analysis delivers in-depth, expert-driven insights on critical policies and developments impacting Kurdistan and the broader Middle East. Through rigorous analysis of the political, economic, and social challenges facing Kurdish communities, we aim to elevate these issues within policy and academic circles, as well as the public in the United States, Kurdistan, and beyond. Our mission is to foster informed dialogue, promote peaceful solutions, and contribute to policies that deepen understanding and advance the Kurdish struggle for rights and recognition. 

We welcome well-researched, original analyses that focus on a single issue and/or policy and offer practical, solution-oriented recommendations. Submissions should be between 1000-1200 words, written specifically for GKIP. We do not accept articles from anonymous authors. All contributors must include a brief bio and current affiliations. To ensure accuracy and transparency, factual claims must be supported with hyperlinks to credible sources.  

Please send submissions as a word document to KurdishSIS@american.edu

We strive to respond to all submissions within five 헤라카지노 보증 days.
