Míra autonomie kurdských regionů v kontextu hybridní suverenity: Komparativní analýza

This bachelor’s thesis examines the degree of autonomy of Kurdish regions in the context of hybrid sovereignty. Through a comparative analysis, it investigates the level of autonomy achieved by Kurdish regions in Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Turkey. It also identifies the factors contributing to processes of autonomization. The theoretical framework is based on the concept of hybrid sovereignty and the theory of empirical and juridical statehood, which are used to construct an analytical model applied in the empirical part of the thesis. The findings show that the highest level of autonomy is exhibited by Iraqi Kurdistan, followed by Syrian Kurdistan with a medium level of autonomy. A low degree of autonomy is observed in Iranian Kurdistan, while no autonomous structures have developed in Turkish Kurdistan. However, the Turkish case serves as a contrasting example that helps to better identify the conditions under which autonomy emerges. The main factors influencing processes of autonomization are the weakening of central state authority and the level of support or intervention by external actors.
