Focusing on the period from 1950 up to the Gulf war in 1990, the book brings an understanding of how development has been shaped or constrained in this much misunderstood country. The author employs the human development paradigm to link human development and human rights to the analysis of political economy. The resulting scholarship, on income and investment, education and health, the status of women, and human rights, presents a nuanced, balanced - but critical - appraisal of the complex interrelationships between economic growth and development and illustrates the fragility of that development, especially when political institutions fail to keep up with the rapid expansion in human capabilities. Providing the historical analysis needed to understand Iraq's current political situation, this book will be of great interest to scholars of development studies, Iraq, and political economy"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aRoutledge studies in Middle Eastern economies. 606 $aEconomic development$zIraq 606 $aHuman rights$zIraq 607 $aIraq$xSocial conditions$y20th century 607 $aIraq$xEconomic conditions$y20th century 615 0$aEconomic development 615 0$aHuman rights 676 $a306.09567 676 $a330.9567 700 $aYousif$b Bassam.$01546227 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779045103321 996 $aHuman development in Iraq$93801652 997 $aUNINA
