Economic Reconstruction During War-Time: Academic Perspectives For Assisting Marine Efforts at Providing Stability to Iraq
Abstract
In a significant policy statement1 released toward the end of 2005 the
United States outlined its strategy for victory in Iraq. Victory is defined in terms
of a sequential set of completed goals: (1) Short term, Iraq is making steady
progress in fighting terrorists, meeting political milestones, building democratic
institutions, and standup security forces; (2) Medium term, Iraq is in the lead
defeating terrorists and providing its own security, with a fully constitutional
government in place and on its way to achieving its economic potential; and (3)
Longer term, Iraq is peaceful, united, stable and secure, well integrated into the
international community and a full partner in the war on terrorism.
