Examines how the Kurdish diaspora in Denmark supported the Kurdish struggle in Syria from the battle of Kobane (2014) to the defeat in Afrin (2018) This book contributes to our understanding of mobilisation and identity formation in the periphery of the Kurdish diaspora by examining the small but well-established community in Denmark. Arguing that the diaspora is treated differently by the Danish authorities - in comparison to neighbouring Sweden and Germany - Anne Sofie Schøtt examines the political lobbyism, the courtroom activism and the humanitarian action of the various Kurdish diaspora groups. This includes examining the position of the Syrian Kurds within the diaspora who, like the Kurds in Syria, have been largely ignored until recently. The book also provides new knowledge on diaspora engagement in war in the homeland by analysing the strategic interaction between the Danish authorities and the Kurdish diaspora community - both engaged in the war against Islamic State, but on different terms. Key Features Investigates how the Kurdish diaspora mobilised in support of Syrian Kurds, stressing the role of transnational actors in war Introduces strategic interactionism into the study of diaspora mobilisation, showing new paths for research Coins the term 'alter-territorial' identification to clarify how some Kurds identify with the political entity in a part of Kurdistan other than their place of origin Anne Sofie Schøtt is Assistant Professor at the Royal Danish Defence College.
