Abstract
The political, social, economic, and physical recovery following armed conflict is an enormous challenge for any state, but particularly for Iraq, given its extensive history of authoritarianism, failed state-building, and conflict. While the territorial defeat of ISIS presents an opportunity to alter this violent course and address the root causes of violence, it will be a difficult process. This introductory chapter presents the main themes of the book, such as governance, inter- and intra-communal conflict, security, transitional justice, and elaborates on the contributions within it.
