The Iraq War and Democratic Politics contains the work of leading scholars concerned with the political implications of the Iraq War and its relationship to and significance for democracy. The book shuns simplistic analysis and provides a nuanced and critical overview of this key moment in global politics. Subjects covered include:
* the underlying moral and political issues raised by the war
* US foreign policy and the Middle East
* the fundamental dilemmas and contradictions of democratic intervention
* how the war was perceived in the UK, EU and US
* the challenges of creating democracy inside Iraq
* the influential role of NGOs
* the legitimacy of the war within international law
* the relationship between democratic government and intelligence.
