What We Owe Iraq

In "What We Owe Iraq," acclaimed author Noah Feldman examines the complexities of nation-building in the context of modern conflicts. Published in 2006, this revised edition offers profound insights into the moral obligations of the United States and its allies as they engage in postwar governance in regions such as Iraq, Afghanistan, and Kosovo. With a concise page count of 166, Feldman argues that while the goal of nation-building often centers on safeguarding national interests, it is imperative to prioritize the welfare of the local populations affected by such interventions. This thought-provoking book challenges readers to rethink the responsibilities that come with power and influence on the global stage. Explore the intersections of international relations, law, and political philosophy with this essential read from a leading voice in Middle Eastern studies.
