          <dc:description>This report examines the Kurds' demand for wide-ranging autonomy in a region of their own in Iraq, which has run up against vehement opposition from Iraqi Arabs.  It argues that continuing instability, the Kurds' high expectations and their ability not only to express but possibly to realize long-standing aspirations through institutional power or violence make it imperative for non-Iraqi actors, including the UN, to step in and mediate a fair resolution of competing claims.</dc:description>
