Iraq in fragments : the occupation and its legacy / Eric Herring, Glen Rangwala. Ithaca, New York : Cornell University Press, 2006. xii, 354 pages : map ; 20 cm. text txt rdacontent unmediated n rdamedia volume nc rdacarrier Crises in world politics "Originally published in the United Kingdom by C. Hurst & Co."--CIP data. Includes bibliographical references and index. "When the United States led the invasion of Iraq in March 2003, it expected to be able to establish a prosperous liberal democracy with an open economy that would serve as a key ally in the region. It sought to engage Iraqi society in ways that would defeat any challenge to that state-building project and U.S. guidance of it. Eric Herring and Glen Rangwala argue that state building in Iraq has been crippled less by preexisting weaknesses in the Iraqi state, Iraqi sectarian divisions, or U.S. policy mistakes than by the fact that the U.S. has attempted - with only limited success - to control the parameters and outcome of that process. They explain that the very nature of U.S. state building in Iraq has created incentives for unregulated local power struggles and patron-client relations. Corruption, smuggling, and violence have resulted." "Placing the occupation within the context of regional, global, and U.S. politics, Herring and Rangwala demonstrate how the politics of co-option, coercion, and economic change have transformed the lives and allegiances of the Iraqi population. As uncertainty about the future of Iraqi persists, this volume provides a much-needed analysis of the deeper forces that give meaning to the daily events in Iraq."--Jacket.
