The implementation of disarmament requirements imposed by the
Security Council after the Second Gulf War established a strong and
unequal power relationship between the United Nations and Iraq.
Although the ensuing struggle over imposed disarmament has been a
major issue in world politics, international relations theorists
continue to ignore it. Deaver argues that this case has important
theoretical implications. Using sociological insights and a
behavioral approach, he examines the power relationship as well as
Iraqi resistance from 1991 to 1998. Theorists are likely to find
these analytic tools useful since they provide a ready means of
studying the micro-foundations of power relations in generalized
terms. Behavior such as supervision, surveillance, inspection, and
monitoring are widespread and growing in world politics. A focus on
tactics demonstrates the role of monitoring in maintaining and
strengthening the relationship between the United Nations and Iraq.
An analysis of dynamics makes comprehensible Iraqi losses of
sovereignty and the eventual collapse of the relationship. Contrary
to popular opinion, whoever escalated tensions hurt their own
cause: Iraqi resistance contributed greatly to United Nations
gains, while the United Nations successes led to the collapse of
its relationship with Iraq.
