This monograph considers both the future of Iraq and the
differences and similarities between events in Iraq and the Arab
Spring states. The author analyzes the nature of Iraqi
de-Ba'athification and evaluates the rationales and results of
actions taken by both Americans and Iraqis involved in the process.
While there are differences between the formation of Iraq's
post-Hussein government and the efforts of Arab Spring governing
bodies to restructure their political institutions, it is possible
to identify parallels. As in Iraq, new Arab Spring governments have
to apportion power, build or reform key institutions, establish
political legitimacy for those institutions, and accommodate the
expectations of their publics in a post-revolutionary environment.
A great deal can go wrong, and any lessons that can be gleaned will
be of value to those nations facing these problems, as well as to
regional and extra-regional allies seeking to help them.
