This paper critically examines the intersection of corruption and Kurdish nationalism in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI). It focuses on the role of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) post-1991 as key representatives of Kurdish nationalism in the KRI, particularly the KDP. In contrast to the existing literature emphasizing the KRI as a symbol of Kurdish national identity, this study delves into the darker side of this narrative, highlighting how Kurdish nationalism has been manipulated to serve the interests of the ruling parties, particularly in the economic and political domains. By qualitatively analyzing interviews and secondary sources in Kurdish and English, the paper explores the correlation between corruption and nationalism in the KRI, which have paralyzed the state-building processes, and the key promise of the Kurdish liberation movement to bring about democracy and social and economic justice.
