从2003年开始，国内外众多重要参与者在伊拉克开展重建活动。国际社会在战后行动中为伊拉克重建投入的预算总额是前所未有的。尽管投入了巨额资金，实施了众多项目和计划，但捐助者和伊拉克人民对伊拉克的重建工作持负面看法。《2003年后的伊拉克重建：从成功与失败中学习》聚焦于2003年至2014年这段时期，即美国领导的入侵推翻萨达姆·侯赛因政权之后，以及伊拉克和大叙利亚伊斯兰国（ISIL，也被称为达伊沙）突然崛起之前。本书评估了伊拉克重建的多个方面。首先，它考虑了联合国、世界银行、美国以及其他双边捐助者（特别是欧盟、日本和英国）以及非政府组织等关键国际参与者的反应。其次，它分析了关键部门（电力、石油、教育和卫生）重建的过程和结果，以及旨在制度建设和治理改革的干预措施。在冲突和脆弱的环境下进行有效的重建是一项艰巨的挑战，因为环境不确定、多变且复杂。基于伊拉克的经验，国际社会如何支持重建的有效性和可持续性？本书在七个方面总结了经验教训，并为参与重建活动的国际和国内参与者以及公民提出了四条建议。《2003年后的伊拉克重建》对于正在或将要在脆弱和受冲突影响的环境中从事重建工作的发展实践者和政策制定者来说是重要的读物。
Beginning in 2003, diverse and significant actors, both domestic and international, engaged in reconstruction activities in Iraq. The total budget committed to Iraq’s reconstruction was unprecedented among post conflict operations mobilized by the international community. Despite the vast sums of money spent, and the implementation of its many projects and programs, the donors and the Iraqi people view the reconstruction efforts in Iraq in a negative light. The Reconstruction of Iraq after 2003: Learning from Its Successes and Failures focuses on the period between 2003 and 2014, that is, after the United States–led invasion and overthrow of the Saddam Hussein regime, and before the sudden rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), also known as Daesh. This book assesses several dimensions of Iraq’s reconstruction. First, it considers the response of key international actors, such as the United Nations, the World Bank, the United States, and other bilateral donors, specifically, the European Union, Japan, and the United Kingdom, as well as nongovernmental organizations. Second, it analyzes the process and results of the reconstruction of key sectors (electricity, oil, education, and health), and the interventions geared to institution building and governance reform. Pursuing effective reconstruction within the context of conflict and fragility is a formidable challenge because of the uncertain, fluid, and complex environment. Based on the experience in Iraq, how can the international community support the effectiveness and durability of reconstruction? This book identifies lessons in seven areas and offers four recommendations for international and domestic actors and citizens engaged in reconstruction activities. The Reconstruction of Iraq after 2003 is important reading for development practitioners and policy makers who are or will be engaged in reconstruction efforts in fragile and conflict-affected environments.
