Acknowledgements We would like to express our gratitude to the many people who helped us throughout the development, research, and drafting of this report. Our field work in Iraq would not have been possible without the help of Sherzad Khidhir. His willingness to connect us with in-country stakeholders significantly contributed to the breadth of our interviews. Those interviews were made possible by our fantastic translators, Lezan, Ehsan, and Younis, who ensured that we could capture critical information and the nuance of discussions. We also greatly appreciated the willingness of U.S. State Department officials, the soldiers of Operation Inherent Resolve, and our many other interview participants to provide us with their time and insights. Thanks to their assistance, we were able to gain a better grasp of this immensely complex topic. Throughout our research, we benefitted from consultations with numerous Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) faculty, as well as with individuals from the larger Harvard community. We would especially like to thank Harvard Business School Professor Kristin Fabbe and Razzaq al-Saiedi from the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative who both provided critical support to our project.

  • Pov-Cameraperson-Discussion-Guide
    POV Community Engagement & Education DISCUSSION GUIDE Cameraperson A Film by Kirsten Johnson www.pbs.org/pov LETTER FROM THE FILMMAKER The joys of being a documentary cameraperson are endless and obvi - ous: I get to share profound intimacy with the people I film, pursue re - markable stories, be at the center of events as they unfold, travel, collaborate and see my work engage with the world. I experience phys - ical freedom and the chance at artistic expression and discovery in each moment I hold a camera. No wonder I’ve been doing it for 25 years and love my life. But/and, the dilemmas I face while holding my camera are formidable. There are the concrete challenges I must face in the moment—how to frame, find focus, choose the direction to follow. The other troubles are implicit and often unseen by the audiences of films I shoot: • The people I film are in immediate and often desperate material need, but I offer little to nothing material. • I can and will leave places I film (a war, a refugee camp) when the people I film can’t. • I traffic in hope without the ability to know what will happen in the future. • I ask for trust, cooperation and permission without knowing where the filming experience will lead the subject. • I alter the balance of power through my presence and act on behalf of one side or another in a conflict. • My work requires trust, demands intimacy and entails total attention. To both me and the people I film, our relationship often feels like a friendship or family connection, but it is something different.

Poor liquidity was behind the appeal of two esoteric trades presented by panelists - buying the beat up Icelandic Krona and the largely unknown Iraqi equity market. Any easing of illiquidity in these markets could prompt significant appreciation. Whether meaningful size can be achieved in these trades, especially the Iceland one, was a popular topic of discussion at the after party. The potential withdrawal of liquidity played a prominent role in 2 other trades. One had to do with the end of QE2, and the volatility that might emerge as a result. The panelist suggested buying corporate CDS ahead of this. The other was a bearish trade at the front end of the US yield curve, based on the idea of a possible bringing forward of FED tightening. Combine all this by getting exposure to the illiquid option-like trades and simultaneously play for higher US rates/credit risk/volatility. A possible win-win if there is only a modest tightening of US policy. But, probably the biggest story of the day was the drama unfolding outside of the room.

  • “Iraq”: a Social Constructivist Explanation
    75 CONTESTING “IRAQ”: A SOCIAL CONSTRUCTIVIST EXPLANATION Lawrence Craig Bailie1 School for Security and Africa Studies, Faculty of Military Science, Stellenbosch University Abstract Iraq, following the 2003 US invasion, was more than just a site of physical conflict; it was also an event on the ground that encompassed a contest around classification. The reason for this contest – one that goes beyond the political considerations during that time – is the migration of the term “civil war”. Using social constructivism as a theoretical lens of inquiry, sense is made of this migration. The empirical evidence that accompanies this theoretical work is drawn from the debate over the conflict in Iraq. This debate is used as a means by which to bring the contestation over the notion of “civil war” to the fore and reveal the migration of the term. Introduction Civil wars are believed to have experienced a steady increase in their “number, duration and sheer destructiveness” since the beginning of the 19th century.2 Of the 124 cases of “civil war” that have been identified between the years 1816 and 1988, almost half occurred between 1945 and 1998.3 Duyvesteyn writes, “civil war has been the dominant form of war at least since the end of the Second World War”.4 Another count indicates that more than a hundred civil wars have taken place since the end of the Cold War in 1989.5 Furthermore, there is an abundance of writing touching on or devoted entirely to the idea that “civil war” is changing. The significance of this idea has led to a distinction being made between “new” and “old” “civil wars”.
