Abstract
This chapter assesses the impact Kurdish political actors and entities are having on regional politics and their prospects in light of the changing national and regional political contexts. Undoubtedly, the military and political reach of Kurdish actors in the region is much greater than before but their ability to exploit the opportunities available to them is constrained by the actions of the regional powers, most notably Turkey and Iran, who remain deeply opposed to Kurdish aspirations. While the highly volatile contexts within which Kurdish movements and entities are operating create difficulties for academic observers to evaluate Kurdish prospects, situating the state-level developments in different Kurdish conflicts within the developments at the regional level will nevertheless enable us to identify the factors that will affect the future course of Kurdish conflicts in the Middle East.
