Book Synopsis The Making of Foreign Policy in Iraq by : Zana Gulmohamad
Download or read book The Making of Foreign Policy in Iraq written by Zana Gulmohamad and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is foreign policy made in Iraq? Based on dozens of interviews with senior officials and politicians, this book provides a clear analysis of the development of domestic Iraqi politics since 2003. Zana Gulmohamad explains how the federal government of Iraq and Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) have functioned and worked together since toppling Saddam to reveal in granular detail the complexity of their foreign policy making. The book shows that the ruling elites and political factions in Baghdad and in the capital of the Kurdistan Region, Erbil, create foreign policies according to their agendas. The formulation and implementation of the two governments' foreign policies is to a great extent uncoordinated. Yet Zana Gulmohamad places this incoherent model of foreign policy making in the context of the country's fragmented political and social context and explains how Iraq's neighbouring countries - Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Syria before the civil war - have each influenced its internal affairs. The book is the first study dedicated to the contemporary dynamics of the Iraqi state - outside the usual focus on the “great powers” - and it explains exactly how Iraqi foreign policy is managed alongside the country's economic and security interests.

Book Synopsis Discourse and Affect in Foreign Policy by : Jakub Eberle
Download or read book Discourse and Affect in Foreign Policy written by Jakub Eberle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreign and security policy have long been removed from the political pressures that influence other areas of policymaking. This has led to a tendency to separate the analytical levels of the individual and the collective. Using Lacanian theory, which views the subject as ontologically incomplete and desiring a perfect identity which is realised in fantasies, or narrative scenarios, this book shows that the making of foreign policy is a much more complex process. Emotions and affect play an important role, even where ‘hard’ security issues, such as the use of military force, are concerned. Eberle constructs a new theoretical framework for analysing foreign policy by capturing the interweaving of both discursive and affective aspects in policymaking. He uses this framework to explain Germany’s often contradictory foreign policy towards the Iraq crisis of 2002/2003, and the emotional, even existential, public debate that accompanied it. This book adds to ongoing theoretical debates in International Political Sociology and Critical Security Studies and will be required reading for all scholars working in these areas.

Book Synopsis Electing to Fight by : Edward D. Mansfield
Download or read book Electing to Fight written by Edward D. Mansfield and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2007-01-26 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does the spread of democracy really contribute to international peace? Successive U. S. administrations have justified various policies intended to promote democracy not only by arguing that democracy is intrinsically good but by pointing to a wide range of research concluding that democracies rarely, if ever, go to war with one another. To promote democracy, the United States has provided economic assistance, political support, and technical advice to emerging democracies in Eastern and Central Europe, and it has attempted to remove undemocratic regimes through political pressure, economic sanctions, and military force. In Electing to Fight, Edward Mansfield and Jack Snyder challenge the widely accepted basis of these policies by arguing that states in the early phases of transitions to democracy are more likely than other states to become involved in war. Drawing on both qualitative and quantitative analysis, Mansfield and Snyder show that emerging democracies with weak political institutions are especially likely to go to war. Leaders of these countries attempt to rally support by invoking external threats and resorting to belligerent, nationalist rhetoric. Mansfield and Snyder point to this pattern in cases ranging from revolutionary France to contemporary Russia. Because the risk of a state's being involved in violent conflict is high until democracy is fully consolidated, Mansfield and Snyder argue, the best way to promote democracy is to begin by building the institutions that democracy requires—such as the rule of law—and only then encouraging mass political participation and elections. Readers will find this argument particularly relevant to prevailing concerns about the transitional government in Iraq. Electing to Fight also calls into question the wisdom of urging early elections elsewhere in the Islamic world and in China.

This book was released on 2004-02-03 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a political, economic and social perspective, what happens in Iraq will have to be closely watched by the countries in the Gulf Region and the broader Middle East. If Iraq becomes a stable, prosperous democracy, it could potentially exert a powerful and positive influence upon the region. However, if Iraq descends into chaos, the consequences would most certainly be disastrous. It is evident that events in Iraq will impact its neighbors. Internal security and stability are the sine qua non of Iraqi reconstruction. It is, however, contended that the need for specialist skills in basic infrastructure services, such as policing and machinery repair, supercede that of military armament. Only, security is a prerequisite to entice foreign capital, as in institutional stability and transparency. Meanwhile, sabotage continues to exacerbate the situation and delay reconstruction. Large oil companies have made it clear that they seek stabilization and a legitimate Iraqi government that has the mandate and longevity to sign long-term agreements. They also seek clarity on Iraqi fiscal plans. With the gradual opening of Iraq's oil industry, companies will be looking to Iraq to allocate funds. Thereby, competition should increase. Accordingly, OPEC will eventually need to revisit their strategy. Sovereignty, legitimacy, authority, accountability, and Iraqi national interests are, thus far, only theories and aspirations. Short term tactical goals differ from long term strategic gains. It remains to be seen which and what will prevail. Of all the unknown, Iraq will presumably remain somewhat divided along sectarian lines. Shiite Islamist parties stand a very good chance of achieving political dominance in Iraq. Then again, the rule of law and civil society institutions may take root, setting a precedent. Thereby, two principal scenarios could unfold in the Gulf region. One may lead to a peaceful environment of cooperation and progress, which would foster a reduction in regional defense expenditures and a greater focus on trade and economic development. Another scenario would be a continued environment of insecurity and tension. This hinges mainly upon the decision whether Iran opts to develop a nuclear weapons program. This would likely draw the Gulf states towards further military mobilization and escalation. In this event, Iraq may eventually build a huge modern army and attempt to acquire a nuclear capability of its own.

Book Synopsis The Modern History of Iraq by : Phebe Marr
Download or read book The Modern History of Iraq written by Phebe Marr and published by Westview Press. This book was released on 2011-09-06 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Modern History of Iraq places in historical perspective the crises and upheavals that continue to afflict the country. The book focuses on several important themes: the search for national identity in a multiethnic, multireligious state; the struggle to achieve economic development and modernity in a traditional society; and the political dynamics that have led to the current situation. Phebe Marr draws on published sources in Arabic and English, personal interviews, and frequent visits to the country to produce a remarkably lucid account of the emergence of contemporary Iraq. This edition features three new chapters that bring readers up to date on events since the U.S. invasion and give a clear picture of the political, social, economic, and ideological consequences of the recent upheaval. Marr provides an insightful overview of the current political scene—Iraq's new political elites; emerging figures, parties, constituencies, and support; and foreign influences. In the final chapter, Marr offers a uniquely penetrating analysis of Iraq's current social and economic affairs, including the decline of the middle class, refugee displacement, the economics of oil, the status of women and ethnic groups, and the rise of sectarianism.
Book Synopsis Iraqi Federalism and the Kurds by : Dr Alex Danilovich
Download or read book Iraqi Federalism and the Kurds written by Dr Alex Danilovich and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2014-04-28 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iraq today faces a whole gamut of problems associated with post-war recovery and state-rebuilding compounded by age old mistrust and suspicion. The situation in Iraq resembles a huge experiment in which social scientists can observe the consequences of actions taken across an entire country. Can Western ideas take route and flourish in non-western societies? Can constitutionalism take hold and work in a traditional religious and deeply divided society? Is Iraqi federalism a solution to the country’s severe disunity or a temporary fix? Iraqi Federalism and the Kurds: Learning to Live Together addresses these important questions and focuses on the role of federalism as a viable solution to Iraq's many problems and the efforts the Kurdish government has deployed to adjust to new federal relations that entail not only gains, but also concessions and compromises. The author's direct experience of living and working within this embattled country allows a unique reflection on the successes and failures of federalism and the positive developments the introduction of federal relationships have brought.
Book Synopsis Once Upon a Time in Iraq by : James Bluemel
Download or read book Once Upon a Time in Iraq written by James Bluemel and published by Random House. This book was released on 2020-07-16 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In war, there is no easy victory. When troops invaded Iraq in 2003 to topple Saddam Hussein’s regime, most people expected an easy victory. Instead, the gamble we took was a grave mistake, and its ramifications continue to reverberate through the lives of millions, in Iraq and the West. As we gain more distance from those events, it can be argued that many of the issues facing us today – the rise of the Islamic State, increased Islamic terrorism, intensified violence in the Middle East, mass migration, and more – can be traced back to the decision to invade Iraq. In The Iraq War, award-winning documentary maker James Bluemel collects first-hand testimony from those who lived through the horrors of the invasion and whose actions were dictated by such extreme circumstances. It takes in all sides of the conflict – working class Iraqi families watching their country erupt into civil war; soldiers and journalists on the ground; American families dealing with the grief of losing their son or daughter; parents of a suicide bomber coming to terms with unfathomable events – to create the most in-depth and multi-faceted portrait of the Iraq War to date. Accompanying a major BBC series, James Bluemel’s book is an essential account of a conflict that continues to shape our world, and a startling reminder of the consequences of our past decisions.
Download or read book Policing Iraq written by Jesse Wozniak and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2021-03-09 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policing Iraq chronicles the efforts of the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq to rebuild their police force and criminal justice system in the wake of the US invasion. Jesse S. G. Wozniak conducted ethnographic research during multiple stays in Iraqi Kurdistan, observing such signpost moments as the Arab Spring, the official withdrawal of coalition forces, the rise of the Islamic State, and the return of US forces. By investigating the day-to-day reality of reconstructing a police force during active hostilities, Wozniak demonstrates how police are integral to the modern state’s ability to effectively rule and how the failure to recognize this directly contributed to the destabilization of Iraq and the rise of the Islamic State. The reconstruction process ignored established practices and scientific knowledge, instead opting to create a facade of legitimacy masking a police force characterized by low pay, poor recruits, and a training regimen wholly unsuited to a constitutional democracy. Ultimately, Wozniak argues, the United States never intended to build a democratic state but rather to develop a dependent client to serve its neoimperial interests.

Book Synopsis Pax Americana by : Jacqueline S. Ismael
Download or read book Pax Americana written by Jacqueline S. Ismael and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2024-07-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book surveys the testimony of international organizations of the impact of American foreign policy on Iraq. Each reveals a fragment of Iraq’s mosaic of misery and desolation, but lacks the context to permit our understanding why this has happened. A parallel lack of context characterizes most of the political commentary, overlooking the recurring pattern of victimization of Iraqis, regardless of which political party controls the White House. This book takes a broader perspective, to reveal the enduring pattern linking specific events.
