    MAATIETOPALVELU 20.10.2015 Irakin tilanne, lokakuu 2015 1. Yleistilanne - kamppailu ISISiä vastaan, mielenosoitukset ja uudistukset Irakin turvallisuusjoukkojen, kurdiarmeijan ja shiialaisten militioiden yhteistyötä on tiivistetty pitkin kuluvaa vuotta taistelussa Keski-Irakin sunnialueita kesällä 2014 vallannutta terroristijärjestö ISI- Siä vastaan. Poliittiset ja uskonnolliset johtajat ovat julistaneet uskonnollista suvaitsevaisuutta. Alueelliset ja kansainväliset tahot tukevat Irakia ISISin vastaisessa kamppailussa. Pääministeri Haider al-Abadi on sitoutunut kansallisen dialogin edistämiseen.1 Abadi vaikuttaa aikaisempaa pääministeriä halukkaammalta tekemään kompromisseja Irakin sunnien ja kurdien kanssa.2 ISIS-konflikti jatkuu, ja ISISin kukistamisen arvioidaan kestävän vielä pitkään.3 Tällä hetkellä Ira- kin turvallisuusjoukot ja niihin liitoksissa olevat militiat priorisoivat Anbarin läänin suurten kaupun- kien (Falluja, Ramadi) valtaamista. Tähän liittyvät valmistelut ovat kestäneet kuukausia.4 Anbarin läänin priorisoinnin vuoksi Nineven läänissä sijaitseva Mosulin kaupunki ja muut ISISin hallussa olevat alueet odottavat vuoroaan. Irakin joukkoja dominoivien shiiojen silmissä kaikki Irakin mer- kittävät shiialaiset alueet on turvattu ISISiltä, eikä militioilla ole kenties halua tai resursseja lähteä ainakaan samanaikaisesti lähteä vapauttamaan sekä Ramadia ja Fallujaa että muita alueita kuten Mosulin kaupunkia. Lisäksi pelätään Mosulin taistelun potentiaalisesti aiheuttamaa suurta miehis- tötappiota.5 Huhtikuussa 2015 Irakin armeijan

    Iraq – Researched and compiled by the Refugee Documentation Centre of Ireland on 7 February 2017 Any information to indicate the presence of ISIS within the Kurdistan Regional Governorate in Iraq (KRG), (otherwise known as the Kurdistan Region in Iraq (KRI)? An article from the Kurdish Globe states: “The Kurdistan Regional Government's Security Council has announced the arrest of a group of six residents of Erbil who have admitted to being extremists affiliated with the ISIS and planned to conduct terrorist attacks in the city.” (The Kurdish Globe (25 May 2015) Terror suspects planned major bombings in Erbil) A report issued by the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan states: “Iraqi Kurdish security forces have arrested ‘several members’ of the Islamic State group (IS, also known as ISIS/ISIL) who worked as part of an ‘underground cell’ to carry out deadly ‘terrorist’ attacks in the city of Sulaymaniyah, the official website of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) reported on 19 January.

  • Media Ownership and News Coverage of International Conflict
    Media Ownership and News Coverage of International Conflict Matthew Baum Yuri Zhukov Harvard Kennedy School University of Michigan matthew [email protected] [email protected] How do differences in ownership of media enterprises shape news coverage of international conflict? We examine this relationship using a new dataset of 591,532 articles on US-led multinational military opera- tions in Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan and Kosovo, published by 2,505 newspapers in 116 countries. We find that ownership chains exert a homogenizing effect on the content of newspapers’ coverage of foreign pol- icy, resulting in coverage across co-owned papers that is more similar in scope (what they cover), focus (how much “hard” relative to “soft” news they offer), and diversity (the breadth of topics they include in their coverage of a given issue) relative to coverage across papers that are not co-owned. However, we also find that competitive market pressures can mitigate these homogenizing effects, and incentivize co-owned outlets to differentiate their coverage. Restrictions on press freedom have the opposite impact, increasing the similarity of coverage within ownership chains. February 27, 2018 What determines the information the press reports about war? This question has long concerned polit- ical communication scholars (Hallin 1989, Entman 2004). Yet it is equally important to our understanding of international conflict. Prevailing international relations theories that take domestic politics into account (e.g., Fearon 1994, 1995, Lake and Rothschild 1996, Schultz 2001) rest on the proposition that the efficient flow of information – between political leaders and their domestic audiences, as well as between states involved in disputes – can mitigate the prevalence of war, either by raising the expected domestic political costs of war or by reducing the likelihood of information failure.1 Yet models of domestic politics have long challenged the possibility of a perfectly informed world (Downs 1957: 213).
