W(h)ither Iraq? -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Afterword to the 2013 Edition: So Much Promise, So Many Disappointments -- IndexWith each day that passed after the 2003 invasion, the United States seemed to sink deeper in the treacherous quicksand of Iraq's social discord, floundering in the face of deep ethno-sectarian divisions that have impeded the creation of a viable state and the molding of a unified Iraqi identity. Yet as Adeed Dawisha shows in this superb political history, the story of a fragile and socially fractured Iraq did not begin with the American-led invasion--it is as old as Iraq itself. Dawisha traces the history of the Iraqi state from its inception in 1921 following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and up to the present day. He demonstrates how from the very beginning Iraq's ruling elites sought to unify this ethnically diverse and politically explosive society by developing state governance, fostering democratic institutions, and forging a national identity. Dawisha, who was born and raised in Iraq, gives rare insight into this culturally rich but chronically divided nation, drawing on a wealth of Arabic and Western sources to describe the fortunes and calamities of a state that was assembled by the British in the wake of World War I and which today faces what may be the most serious threat to survival that it has ever known. Featuring Dawisha's insightful new afterword on recent political developments, Iraq is required reading for anyone seeking to make sense of what's going on in Iraq today, and why it has been so difficult to create a viable government there.HISTORY / Middle East / GeneralbisacshIraqPolitics and government1958-IraqPolitics and government1921-1958Electronic books.

Ten years after the 2008 economic crisis, and amidst a digital revolution that is intensifying the development race, the European Union, and especially Central and Eastern Europe, are ardently searching for their development priorities. Against this background, by relying on a cross-national perspective, the authors reflect upon the developmental challenges of the moment, such as sustainable development, reducing inequality, ensuring social cohesion, and driving the digital revolution. They particularly focus on the relation between the less-developed Eastern part of the EU and its more developed Western counterpart, and discuss the consequences of this development gap in detail. Lastly, the book presents a range of case studies from different areas of governance, such as economy and commerce, health services, education, migration and public opinion in order to investigate the trends most likely to impact the European Union's medium and long-term development.European Economic Community literatureEconomic policySocial structureEqualityPolitical economyGlobalizationEuropean Integrationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W33010Economic Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34010Social Structure, Social Inequalityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22010International Political Economyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912140Globalizationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912030EconomicsManagement scienceEuropean Economic Community literatureEconomic policySocial structureSocial inequalityPolitical economyGlobalizationEuropean Economic Community literature.Economic policy.Social structure.Equality.Political economy.Globalization.European Integration.Economic Policy.Social Structure, Social Inequality.International Political Economy.Globalization.337.142Dobrescu Pauledt1182510Dobrescu Pauledthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910337681803321Development in Turbulent Times3882525UNINA02755nam 2200709 a 450 991081788100332120200520144314.0978661265404697811192037111119203716978128265404412826540479780470879191047087919X(CKB)2670000000032015(EBL)547105(OCoLC)656366129(SSID)ssj0000411599(PQKBManifestationID)12156078(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000411599(PQKBWorkID)10356602(PQKB)10770081(MiAaPQ)EBC547105(WaSeSS)IndRDA00115444(CaSebORM)9780470927434(OCoLC)860805548(OCoLC)ocn860805548(EXLCZ)99267000000003201520101112d2010 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrAlternative assets and strategic allocation rethinking the institutional approach /John B.
