Discontinuities in Greece’s Middle Eastern foreign policy practice

Mapping Non-State Actors in International Relations
Non-state actors and change in foreign policy
This article bridges the gap between referenda and foreign policy, emphasizing the role of non-state entities as (f)actors of change in the formulation of foreign policy. Using a multi-layered (rather than a normative) analysis, it examines the Kurdistan Region of Iraq as a novel, non-state case in the international relations and foreign policy analysis literature. It argues that referenda can be pursued by non-state entities, not just state acto…
State and non-state interactions in International Relations
This paper offers an alternative theoretical outlook informed by empirical findings. It suggests the need for a ‘Grand Theory’ in response to critiques as to whether the International Relations discipline is able to explain the contemporary global order. Existing theories and their strands, along with critical meta-theories, might have proved valuable as tools for approaching specific phenomena. Yet, the main schools of thought appear neither to …
From resistance to military institutionalisation
This study explores differing strategies and tactics employed by the peshmerga forces against the Islamic State (IS). This experience highlights a number of issues which are relevant to contemporary security debates. Firstly, the struggle highlights important aspects of the development of the peshmerga and their strategies as an organised non-state military force (defending as it does the Kurdistan Region in Iraq). Secondly, the peshmerga–IS conf…
The GCC in Kurdish Politics
This article, based largely on primary sources, examines the poor record of relations between the states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) as the only regionally and internationally recognized Kurdish entity. It discusses the importance of rapprochement in the future, since survival in the wider Middle East depends on alliances, and argues that relations based on mutual interests and benefits could…
Kurdish policies in Syria under the Arab Uprisings
The effect of the Arab Uprisings on the interplay of state and non-state entities is revealed as influencing the emergence of multiple players of non-state status pursuing democratic rights, and as attempting to dismiss regional despotism as an intrinsic element of ongoing transition in the Middle East. This article focuses on the positive overall effect on the Kurdish movement of unity and cooperation between KRG and PKK-PYD actors to achieve Ku…
