Abstract
This academic article focuses on the development of democracy in the Kurdish stateless territory of the Middle East. Calling themselves "Rojava" by considering about the abstract nature of the state in the form of "Anarchism," they are attempting to liberate their ethnic groups from the rule of other races by uniting together to form a "Social Contract" and have joined together in a referendum asking for the separation of territory from Syria to be established "Autonomous Region" where can act independently. By using the concept of democratic development as an important political landmark that calling this format "Democratic Federal," it consists of the smallest lower-level government in society, called the "Commune," and the upper-level government formed by the union of several communes in order to form another layer of joint projects or public affairs called "Canton," " Rojava" still lacks the key element of a nation-state, that is, "sovereignty," but this is not an obstacle to govern their own. Since the Syrian constitution favors Kurdish self-government, in addition the context is directly related to the ongoing civil war is still hot. It is inevitable that the Kurdish people will always depend on one another. For this reason, the Kurdish leaders have created a spatial discourse to forge ethnic feelings until it creates a symbol of integration that helps create more solidarity between each other, leading to the integrity of politics and governance that directly affects self-government capability and focuses on low-level sovereignty. As a result, the "Rojava" dream land implies self-government and sovereignty within a small, unified area, free of any outside commune in any all cases.
