The International Institute for the Study of Kurdish Societies (IISKS) is a non-governmental, non-political, not-for-profit professional organization dedicated to promoting the study of Kurdish societies and related areas worldwide. The institute’s mission is to conduct and facilitate research on various aspects of Kurdish culture and history, and to disseminate and distribute the results of such research. In keeping with our commitment to academic excellence, the IISKS is dedicated to publishing scholarly works based on a bilateral blind review process. This process ensures that all academic publications are thoroughly evaluated by independent experts in the field before being published, thus upholding the highest standards of academic rigor and integrity. Additionally, the IISKS will continue to update previously published entries (in print or electronically) to keep pace with the latest research in all areas of Kurdish Studies. Furthermore, the IISKS is committed to ensuring the financial health of the institution and welcomes gifts, bequests, and donations from individuals and organizations that share our mission to advance the study of Kurdish societies and related areas.
