Dr. Khedir's sociological angle grants us a window into the important and sometimes neglected question of social capital in democratic politics. The weakness of the fast-track transition model becomes evident, as its institutional design proves insufficient for a transition success without supportive social relationships in place. Alex Danilovich, Senior Associate, Institute on Governance, Ottawa, Canada The simplistic importation of "democratic devices" such as parliaments, as Hewa Haji Khedir demonstrates here in this detailed analysis, is not the same as democratisation. The lack of sufficient societal trust and effective civil literacy and communications to foster it all undermines the development of adequate mechanisms for accountability, and without accountability there can be no democracy. Pippa Catterall, Professor of History and Policy, University of Westminster, London, UK This book examines social capital and transition to democracy in Kurdistan. By utilizing the Social Capital Theory, the project presents a different perspective on challenges that surrounded the process of transition to democracy in KRI. The work is based on a bottom-up approach as it unpacks the influences of political culture on the function of democratic institutions and norms in a conflicting context. The author splits the concept of social capital into three main components: trust, social networks and civic engagement and tests them empirically in the context of KRI. The monograph will interest graduate students, researchers and policy makers in the fields of political science, sociology and Middle Eastern Studies. Hewa Haji Khedir is currently a Researcher at the Centre for Religion, Reconciliation and Peace (CRRP) at the University of Winchester, UK. He received his Ph. D. in Social Sciences from the University of Kurdistan Hewler (UKH) in 2013. Before moving to the UK, Dr. Khedir was an Assistant Professor of Political Sociology at Salahaddin University Erbil and served as a Visiting Professor at a number of universities in the Kurdistan Region, Iraq. Dr. Khedirs research focuses on communal relations and prejudice, peacebuilding and reconciliation, urbanization and social capital and transition to democracy. 000930146 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000930146 650_0 $$aKurds$$zIraq$$xPolitics and government. 000930146 650_0 $$aSocial capital (Sociology)$$zIraq$$zKurdistān. 000930146 650_0 $$aPolitical participation$$zIraq$$zKurdistān. 000930146 650_0 $$aDemocratization$$zIraq$$zKurdistān. 000930146 651_0 $$aKurdistān (Iraq)$$xPolitics and government. 000930146 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aKhedir, Hewa Haji.$$tSocial Capital, Civic Engagement and Democratization in Kurdistan.$$dCham : Springer International Publishing AG, ©2020$$z9783030421434 000930146 830_0 $$aMiddle East today. 000930146 852__ $$bebk 000930146 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-42144-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000930146 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:930146$$pGLOBAL_SET 000930146 980__ $$aEBOOK 000930146 980__ $$aBIB 000930146 982__ $$aEbook 000930146 983__ $$aOnline 000930146 994__ $$a92$$bISE
