Although the U.S. withdrawal plan is designed with care to avoid weakening Iraq's security, the end of U.S. occupation may alter the strategies of the main Iraqi political actors, each of which has enough armed power to be able to shatter Iraq's domestic peace. In view of the potential for insecurity in Iraq, the United States cannot afford to take a passive or reactive stance. To anticipate dangers and act purposefully, U.S. policy-makers need a dynamic analytic framework with which to examine the shifting motivations and capabilities of the actors that affect Iraq's security. This monograph offers such a framework.Rand Corporation monograph series.Framework for analyzing emerging threats as US forces leaveFramework for analyzing emerging threats as United States forces leaveNational securityIraqInternal securityIraqIraq War, 2003-2011Disengagement (Military science)IraqMilitary policyIraqPolitics and government2003-United StatesMilitary policyNational securityInternal securityIraq War, 2003-2011.Disengagement (Military science)355/.0330567Gompert David C675666Kelly Terrence K879921Watkins Jessica905761National Defense Research Institute (U.S.)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910220097803321Security in Iraq2025947UNINA
