Diaspora, as a development agent, plays an important role in the political life of Iraqi Kurdish in recent years. In addition, it is a wave that has led to conflict and expansion of nationalist tendencies in the Middle East in recent decades. In this line, the Kurdish, who established the forth ethnical group in the Middle East, following mandatory deportations to the West, have created a rise in host societies which is visible in their countries. This manifestation can be observed in Kurdish intellectual resurrection and referendum on independence of Kurdistan. This research is based on a descriptive-analytical method. By using subjugation of the thought of Galtung's conflict and the field dialectic and the habit of Bourdieu, this research attempts to show that the Kurdish Diaspora in Western societies affects identity and nationalist conflicts and influences the independence of the Kurdistan region of Iraq.
