  • Evaluating the US Military 'Surge' Using Nighttime Light Signatures
    Baghdad Nights: Evaluating the US Military ‘Surge’ Using Nighttime Light Signatures John Agnew Thomas W. Gillespie Jorge Gonzalez Brian Min CCPR-064-08 December 2008 Latest Revised: December 2008 California Center for Population Research On-Line Working Paper Series Environment and Planning A 2008, volume 40, pages 2285 ^ 2295 doi:10.1068/a41200 Commentary Baghdad nights: evaluating the US military `surge' using nighttime light signatures Introduction Geographers and social scientists find it increasingly difficult to intervene in debates about vital matters of public interest, such as the Iraq war, because of the ideological polarization and lack of respect for empirical analysis that have afflicted US politics in recent years. In this commentary we attempt to intervene in a way that applies some fairly objective and unobtrusive measures to a particularly contentious issue: the question of whether or not the so-called `surge' of US military personnel into Baghdadö30 000 more troops added in the first half of 2007öhas turned the tide against political and social instability in Iraq and laid the groundwork for rebuilding an Iraqi polity following the US invasion of March 2003. Even though US media attention on the Iraq war has waned, the conflict remains a material and symbolic issue of huge significance for both future US foreign policy and the future prospects of Iraq as an effective state. It has been difficult to assess whether the so-called surge or escalation of US troops into Baghdad beginning in spring 2007 has led to lower levels of violence, political reconciliation, and improvements in the quality of life of the city's population.

  • Strategic Dialogue: Shaping the Iraqi-U.S. Relationship
    Cordesman: Shaping a Strategy for Iraq June 29, 2020 1 Strategic Dialogue: Shaping the Iraqi-U.S. Relationship By Anthony H. Cordesman With the assistance of Grace Hwang June 29, 2020 Please provide comments to [email protected] Photo: AHMAD AL-RUBAYE/AFP/Getty Images Cordesman: Shaping a Strategy for Iraq June 29, 2020 2 Strategic Dialogue: Shaping the Iraqi-U.S. Relationship Anthony H. Cordesman The Burke Chair at CSIS is issuing a new version of a previous Burke Chair analysis of the political/governance, economic, and security challenges that Iraq faces in creating a lasting strategic relationship with the United States. This new analysis has been developed to explore the full range of issues that affect Iraqi security and stability, and it emphasizes the need to shape a new strategic relationship between Iraq and the U.S. raised by Secretary Pompeo’s announcement on April 7, 2020, that the United States would hold a strategic dialogue with the Iraqi government in mid-June 2020. Secretary Pompeo’s announcement stated that, “With the global COVID-19 pandemic raging and plummeting oil revenues threatening an Iraqi economic collapse, it's important that our two governments work together to stop any reversal of the gains we've made in our efforts to defeat ISIS and stabilize the country. All strategic issues between our two countries will be on the agenda, including the future presence of the United States forces in that country and how best to support an independent and sovereign Iraq.” “Secretary Pompeo made it clear that the United States would have to reassess its strategy in Iraq in terms of the growing Iranian and Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) pressure on the U.S.

All papers of this series have been blind reviewed and accepted for presentation at one of ATINER‟s annual conferences according to its acceptance policies (http://www.atiner.gr/acceptance). © All rights reserved by authors. 1 ATINER CONFERENCE PRESENTATION SERIES No: PLA2018-0108 ATINER’s Conference Paper Proceedings Series PLA2018-0108 Athens, 2 October 2018 ISSN: 2529-167X Raed Al Tal, Assistant Professor, German Jordanian University, Jordan Iba‟a Al-Zubaydi, Master Student, German Jordanian University, Jordan Trans-placed Communities: The Impact of the Iraqi Community on the Spatial and Socio- cultural Urban Structure of Amman ABSTRACT The influx of Iraqis to Jordan came in two major waves. The first wave had taken place in 1991 when Iraq was subjected to a devastating war following its invasion of Kuwait, while the second wave resulted from the US-led war against Iraq in 2003. In both waves, the Iraqi immigrants can be grouped into three categories. The first relates to those Iraqis who came seeking temporary safety from the spread of violence back home, but for whom the idea of returning to Iraq remained in mind. The second category is of those Iraqis who came to stay for family any pressing reasons and the third group is of those who viewed Amman as a transit station towards other destinations.
