  • Thesis Reviews the Background and Progress of Iraqi Reconstruction Efforts Since 2003 to Highlight Factors That Contribute to This Situation
    The Role of the Expatriate Business Community in Rebuilding a State After Forced Failure A Case Study of Iraq Master By Research MRes Political Science & International Relations Professor Majid AlSadi PhD. Eng. Doc. BA (Hons). Doc.Lit (Hons) Supervisors: Dr. Adrian Budd Professor Craig Barker 2018 1 Abstract More than 14 years after the U.S.-led invasion and the collapse of the state in 2003 Iraq’s performance in social and physical reconstruction remains poor and hindered by numerous obstacles. The political culture in Iraq particularly suffers from excessive foreign influence, extreme corruption and self-serving political culture, exacerbating social problems in a now-heavily divided society. Long-established power blocs are heavily entrenched within a sectarian division of power in Iraqi governance and independent actors including the Iraqi expatriates, the private sector and civil society groups are heavily impeded from introducing change to the established order. This thesis reviews the background and progress of Iraqi reconstruction efforts since 2003 to highlight factors that contribute to this situation. It uses existing Iraq-specific literature to highlight spaces where alternative political and civil society actors could help change the country’s political culture. Comparative examples from other post- conflict societies (including Lebanon, Afghanistan and Germany) are used to show how expatriate communities, particularly those involved in private enterprise can contribute to post-conflict reconstruction and improving governance in failed or fragile states. The researcher’s extensive personal experience and a case study of the Iraqi Business Council in Jordan comprise the majority of primary research. Comparative case studies show that the private sector capabilities and the international experience gained by expatriates can contribute positively to the reconstruction of their war-torn societies.

  • Cost-Benefit Analysis of Kirkuk Sulymaniya Railway Project
    Journal of Engineering and Development, Vol. 17, No.2, 2013, ISSN 1813‐ 7822 Cost-Benefit Analysis of Kirkuk Sulymaniya Railway Project Lect. Dr. Ali J. Kadhim Lect. Dr.Mohmmad B. Abdljabar Highway and Transportation Dep College of Engineering Univ. of Mustansiriyah Lect. Shatha S. Kareem Highway and Transportation Dep College of Engineering Univ. of Mustansiriyah Abstract The railway network is considered one of the major stone in the economic skeleton in most countries. Herein, the user benefit was investigated when a new railway track is to be installed between Kirkuk and Sulymaniya cities in the north of Iraq. The operating costs of the new railway line are compared with the existing transportation modes that depend only on multilane highway between the two cities. The analysis was done using the related parameters that involved in the cost benefit procedures, beside that this project have the ability of joining Iran with Iraq and consequently joining the Iraqi railways. The results show that when the construction and other initial costs are added the economic evaluation is negative and results no user benefit, while in the real world there are impacts on the development of the society when such transportation projects are installed. This paper concluded that there is a great user benefit in the proposed project when the operating, accidents, time saving costs and the ecological effects are considered, with the excluding of the initial costs as in the case of the roadway construction. This study aims to understanding the effect of adding a new mode of travel (railway travel) and compare its effect with the existing modes (roadway travel) by using the cost-benefit analysis.

Program : Master of Arts in International Affairs Department : Social Sciences School : School of Arts and Sciences ii iii iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This research would not have been possible without the help and assistance of many persons. I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisor Dr. Sami Baroudi who has been a great support throughout all stages of my postgraduate studies. I am also deeply grateful to all of my professors in the Lebanese American University from whom I have learned an abundant amount of knowledge. v To my loving family vi THE BOUNDARY DISPUTE BETWEEN KUWAIT AND IRAQ HAS IT SUBSIDED? Maha Kenaee Abstract This thesis attempts three related tasks. First, it surveys the historic record which provides uncontestable evidence that Kuwait was never part of the Ottoman Empire and thus never formed a single administrative or political unit with Iraq or part of it. Second, it traces the turbulent history of Kuwait‟s relationship with Iraq ever since the latter achieved independence in 1932; arguing that this turbulent relationship invited the intervention of regional and international players due to the strategic importance of Kuwait, especially since the discovery of oil.
