In this transition, will the Iraqi leadership move past cycles of failure and address the structural problems that perpetuate state weakness and facilitate the emergence of groups like ISIS? To answer this question, this paper analysed the challenges of short-term stabilisation programming with longer-term governance reform at the local and national levels. It argued that, without establishing representative and responsive state institutions, the processes of reconciliation and integration would be unsuccessful. To conclude, this paper offered policy recommendations on how the EU could support the upcoming state-rebuilding process. |
