This book locates US elites as members of corporate elite networks
and drivers of corporate elite interests, arguing that studying the
social sources of US power plays an important part in understanding
the nature of their decisions in US foreign policy. Exploring the
decisions taken by American elites on the Iraq War, the author
argues that the decisions and agendas US elites pursued in Iraq
were driven by corporate elite interests - embedded in them as
individuals and in groups through the corporate elite networks they
were rooted in - which they prioritised, using democracy promotion
as a cover up. Using elite theory, membership network analysis and
content analysis, this book explains who these elites were, how
their backgrounds and social influences impacted their world-views,
and what this looked like in a detailed exploration of their
decision-making on the ground in Iraq. Nouri examines the nature of
US power, what drives it, what it looks like and its legacies. This
volume provides valuable understandings and lessons to scholars and
students of International Relations studying democracy, US foreign
policy, post-colonialism, elite theory, US imperialism,
neoliberalism, orientalism, Iraqi politics, and the making of the
Iraq constitution.
