The total budget committed to Iraq’s reconstruction was\nunprecedented among postconflict operations mobilized by the international community. Despite the\nvast sums of money spent, and the implementation of its many projects and programs, the donors and\nthe Iraqi people view the reconstruction efforts in Iraq in a negative light.\n\nThe Reconstruction of Iraq after 2003: Learning from Its Successes and Failures focuses on the period\nbetween 2003 and 2014—that is, after the United States–led invasion and overthrow of the Saddam\nHussein regime, and before the sudden rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), also\nknown as Daesh. This book assesses several dimensions of Iraq’s reconstruction. First, it considers the\nresponse of key international actors, such as the United Nations, the World Bank, the United States,\nand other bilateral donors—specifically, the European Union, Japan, and the United Kingdom—as well\nas nongovernmental organizations. Second, it analyzes the process and results of the reconstruction\nof key sectors (electricity, oil, education, and health), and the interventions geared to institution\nbuilding and governance reform.\n\nPursuing effective reconstruction within the context of conflict and fragility is a formidable\nchallenge because of the uncertain, fluid, and complex environment. Based on the experience in Iraq,\nhow can the international community support the effectiveness and durability of reconstruction?\nThis book identifies lessons in seven areas and offers four recommendations for international and\ndomestic actors and citizens engaged in reconstruction activities.\n\nThe Reconstruction of Iraq after 2003 is important reading for development practitioners\nand policy makers who are or will be engaged in reconstruction efforts in fragile and conflict-affected\nenvironments.","brand":"World Bank Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46609597038847,"sku":"9781464813900","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_32508ecb-d0de-4180-bccf-54d8be0d38e0.jpg?v=1739852310","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781464813900","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
