Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in 2003, diverse and significant actors, both domestic and international, engaged in reconstruction activities in Iraq. The total budget committed to Iraq’s reconstruction was unprecedented among postconflict operations mobilized by the international community. Despite the vast sums of money spent, and the implementation of its many projects and programs, the donors and the Iraqi people view the reconstruction efforts in Iraq in a negative light. The Reconstruction of Iraq after 2003: Learning from Its Successes and Failures focuses on the period between 2003 and 2014—that is, after the United States†“led invasion and overthrow of the Saddam Hussein regime, and before the sudden rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), also known as Daesh. This book assesses several dimensions of Iraq’s reconstruction. First, it considers the response of key international actors, such as the United Nations, the World Bank, the United States, and other bilateral donors—specifically, the European Union, Japan, and the United Kingdom—as well as nongovernmental organizations. Second, it analyzes the process and results of the reconstruction of key sectors (electricity, oil, education, and health), and the interventions geared to institution building and governance reform. Pursuing effective reconstruction within the context of conflict and fragility is a formidable challenge because of the uncertain, fluid, and complex environment. Based on the experience in Iraq, how can the international community support the effectiveness and durability of reconstruction? This book identifies lessons in seven areas and offers four recommendations for international and domestic actors and citizens engaged in reconstruction activities. The Reconstruction of Iraq after 2003 is important reading for development practitioners and policy makers who are or will be engaged in reconstruction efforts in fragile and conflict-affected environments.

Book Synopsis Iraq and the Politics of Oil by : Gary Vogler
Download or read book Iraq and the Politics of Oil written by Gary Vogler and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2017-12-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Was the Iraq war really about oil? As a senior oil advisor for the Office for Reconstruction and Humanitarian Assistance (ORHA) and briefly as minister of oil, Gary Vogler thought he knew. But while doing research for a book about his experience in Iraq, Vogler discovered that what he knew was not the whole story—or even the true story. The Iraq war did have an oil agenda underlying it, one that Vogler had previously denied. This book is his attempt to set the record straight. Iraq and the Politics of Oil is a fascinating behind-the-scenes account of the role of the US government in the Iraqi oil sector since 2003. Vogler describes the prewar oil planning and the important decisions made during hostilities to get Iraqi oil flowing several months ahead of schedule. He reveals how, amid the instability of 2006 (largely fueled by the arrogance of early US decisions), the fixing of the Bayji Refinery contributed significantly to the success of the oil sector in the Sunni part of northern Iraq during and after the surge. Vogler gives us an expert insider’s view of the largest oilfield auctions in the history of the international oil industry, and his account shows how US Forces’ focus on a single Iraqi point of failure in 2007 was a primary factor in the record productions and exports of 2012 through 2017. But under the successes so deftly chronicled here, a darker political narrative finally emerges, one that reaches back to the decision to go to war with Iraq. Uncovering it, Vogler revises our understanding of what we were doing in Iraq, even as he gives us a critical, close-up view of that fraught enterprise.

Download or read book Rebuilding Iraq written by United States. General Accounting Office and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2008 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While billions have been provided to rebuild Iraq's oil and electricity sectors, Iraq's future needs are significant and sources of funding uncertain. For fiscal years 2003 through 2006, the United States made available about $7.4 billion and spent about $5.1 billion to rebuild the oil and electricity sectors. The United States spent an additional $3.8 billion in Iraqi funds on the two sectors, primarily on oil and electricity sector contracts administered by U.S. agencies. However, according to various estimates and officials, Iraq will need billions of additional dollars to rebuild, maintain, and secure Iraq's oil and electricity sectors. The Ministry of Electricity estimates that about $27 billion will be needed to meet the sector's future rebuilding requirements; a comparable estimate has not been developed by the Ministry of Oil. Since the majority (about 70 percent) of U.S. funds has been spent, the Iraqi government and the international donor community represent important sources of potential funding. However, prospects of such funding are uncertain. First, the Oil and Electricity Ministries have encountered difficulties spending capital improvement budgets because of weaknesses in budgeting, procurement, and financial management. As of November 2006, the Ministry of Oil had spent less than 3 percent of its $3.5 billion 2006 capital budget to improve Iraq's oil facilities. Second, Iraq has not made full use of potential international contributions and it is unclear what additional financial commitments, if any, will be provided to Iraq's oil and electricity sectors as part of a new international compact (agreement), according to U.S. officials. As of March 2007, donors had committed $580 million in grants for the electricity sector and had offered loans for oil and electricity projects; however, Iraq has not accessed these loans in part due to concerns about its high debt burden.
Book Synopsis Stabilizing and Rebuilding Iraq by : Russell E. Hargrove
Download or read book Stabilizing and Rebuilding Iraq written by Russell E. Hargrove and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on rebuilding Iraq's oil sector which is crucial to rebuilding Iraq's economy. Oil export revenues account for over half of Iraq's gross domestic product and over 90 percent of government revenues. Despite 4 years of effort and $2.7 billion in U.S. reconstruction funds, Iraqi oil output has consistently fallen below U.S. program goals. This book addresses the U.S. goals for Iraq's oil sector and progress in achieving these goals, key challenges the U.S. government faces in helping Iraq restore its oil sector and efforts to enact and implement hydrocarbon legislation. This book also reviews the package of legislation currently under consideration, analyses the positions of various Iraqi political actors, and discusses potential implications for U.S. foreign policy goals in Iraq.
Book Synopsis Oil and Democracy in Iraq by : Robert Springborg
Download or read book Oil and Democracy in Iraq written by Robert Springborg and published by Saqi. This book was released on 2012-07-15 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first major study of the alternatives confronting Iraq as it seeks to rebuild its vital oil industry while simultaneously constructing a new political system. A key challenge facing the country is to allocate the revenues oil generates in a way that avoids economic and social instability. Reviewing the present status of the industry, the authors - including Clement Henry, Massoud Karshenas, Roger Owen, Mona Said and John Sfakianakis - use comparative analysis to suggest how it might best be rebuilt. Oil and Democracy in Iraq is an important and timely assessment of Iraq's oil industry. 'Springborg's observations help understand the current stalemate in (or failure) to define the legal and administrative setting needed to undertake a real reconstruction of the national oil industry.' -- Maritza Cricorian, Istituto Affari Internazionali 'This book is exemplary, setting forth clear alternatives, as well as cautionary tales from the experiences of other states, and indeed of Iraq itself in an earlier incarnation.' -- Charles Tripp, School of Oriental and African Studies

Book Synopsis Hard Lessons: the Iraq Reconstruction Experience by : Stuart W. Bowen
Download or read book Hard Lessons: the Iraq Reconstruction Experience written by Stuart W. Bowen and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2009-05 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A combination of poor planning, weak oversight and greed cheated U.S. taxpayers and undermined American forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. U.S. taxpayers have paid nearly $51 billion for projects in Iraq, including training the Iraqi army and police and rebuilding Iraq's oil, electric, justice, health and transportation sectors. Many of the projects did not succeed, partly because of violence in Iraq and friction between U.S. officials in Washington and Iraqi officials in Baghdad. The U.S. gov¿t. "was neither prepared for nor able to respond quickly to the ever-changing demands" of stabilizing Iraq and then rebuilding it. This report reviews the problems in the war effort, which the Bush admin. claimed would cost $2.4 billion. Charts and tables.

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.

Download or read book Rebuilding Iraq written by Government Accountability Office and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 2003, the United States has provided several billion dollars in reconstruction funds to help rebuild Iraq oil and electricity sectors, which are crucial to rebuilding Iraq's economy. For example, oil export revenues account for over half of Iraq's gross domestic product and over 90 percent of government revenues. The U.S. rebuilding program was predicated on three key assumptions: a permissive security environment, the ability to restore Iraq's essential services to prewar levels, and funding from Iraq and international donors. This report addresses (1) the funding made available to rebuild Iraq's oil and electricity sectors, (2) the U.S. goals for these sectors and progress in achieving these goals, and (3) the key challenges the U.S. government faces in these efforts.
