Iraq in transition. A political, economic, and strategic perspective
After 25 years of thinly veiled hostility, U.S. relations with post-monarchial Iraq have warmed dramatically. Simultaneously, Iraq's sovereignty has become the keystone of Gulf Stability, due to Iraq's military and economic resilience and to the rise of Khomeini's Iran and the waning of Saudi influence. In this book, five leading analysts explore the maturing Iraqi revolution, Iraq's long-term role in the Gulf, and the factors that will affect the future of U.S.-Iraqi political and commercial relations. The authors argue that continuing U.S. interest in the Middle East will demand changes in the U.S. approach toward Iraq. Future cooperation between the two countries, they believe, must be based on increased understanding by the United States of Iraq's people and leaders, and, most important, Iraqi response to the burden of a continuing war.
