SOLEIMANI, Kamal  y  MOHAMMADPOUR, Ahmad. Sovereignty and Developmental Policies in Palestine and Eastern Kurdistan. Estud. Asia Áfr. [online]. 2022, vol.57, n.2, pp.249-287.  Epub 06-Jun-2022. ISSN 2448-654X.  https://doi.org/10.24201/eaa.v57i2.2738.

Inspired by the scholarship on Palestine studies and particularly by Sara Roy’s “de-development” theory, this paper investigates how the sovereign ethno-nation in Iran instrumentalizes and distorts development to subjugate the minoritized Kurdish nation. Along with contextualizing de-development theory within the broader discipline of developmental studies and outlining how de-development works in practice, we compare the political-economic conditions of Rojhelat (Eastern Kurdistan/Iran) with those of Palestine to underscore the key similarities and differences between these two cases.

Palabras llave : Palestine; Kurdistan; development; de-development.
