  • The Failure of Post-Conflict Reconstruction in Iraq
    BUILDING STATES, FAILING NATIONS: THE FAILURE OF POST-CONFLICT RECONSTRUCTION IN IRAQ Hawzhin Azeez B.A., M.A. A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2013 Newcastle Business School, Faculty of Business and Law The University of Newcastle, Australia. The thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university or other tertiary institution and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference has been made in the text. I give consent to the final version of my thesis being made available worldwide when deposited in the University’s Digital Repository**, subject to the provisions of the Copyright Act 1968. **Unless an Embargo has been approved for a determined period. Acknowledgements The completion of this thesis would not have been possible without the support of my supervisors Dr. Robert Imre and Dr. Tod Moore. Dr. Imre came on board at an exceptionally crucial time and rescued my confidence and desire to proceed with my research. Since then, his constant guidance and support, particularly in the form of emotional support and motivation has been profound in encouraging me to continue with the research. Dr. Imre has also been crucial in encouraging my confidence in teaching, one of my life's greatest passions, in addition to supporting my efforts at publications. Dr. Tod Moore likewise inherited a haphazard thesis and provided valuable feedback and support which was crucial to the completion of the thesis.
