Kurdish Politics After the Rojava Revolution: Transnational Engagement and the Gendered Nation explores how the Rojava Revolution has transformed Kurdish political activism, identity, and engagement across the global Kurdish diaspora.

Drawing on more than one hundred interviews and extensive field research in Kurdish communities across Western Europe and North America, the book examines how developments in the Middle East have reshaped Kurdish politics beyond the region itself. Central to its analysis is the growing influence of women's leadership and feminist ideas, demonstrating how the prominent role of Kurdish women in Rojava has redefined collective identity and inspired new forms of resistance, solidarity, and political mobilisation. The study explores key developments including challenges to the PKK's terrorist designation in Europe, the transnational spread of the slogan Jin, Jiyan, Azadî (Women, Life, Freedom), and the renewed significance of Kurdish actors in struggles for democracy. It also assesses the consequences of Rojava's limited international recognition and the retreat of Western support, situating these developments within wider debates on democratic decline and the future of liberal international norms.
