| contents | From Forced Revolution to Failed Transition: The Nightmarish Agency of Revolutionary Neo-Liberalism in Iraq Christopher Parker Relaciones Internacionales Iraq transition neoliberalism This essay explores the agency of efforts to advance the market, and apply techniques ofconstitutional engineering, as agents of liberal change in post-war Iraq. By revealing the interests,repertoires of coercion, and taken for granted assumptions about the political world brought to bearwithin these projects, it identifies their culpability in generating the current malaise. The essay alsogoes deeper to address the issue of how contemporary narratives of global transition and newnessarticulated a vision of the Iraqi regime as a focus of efforts at transformation. I suggest that thisvisionand the projects of forced revolution and transition that were built upon itwas seductivemore by virtue of its internal logic than by virtue of real insight into the Iraqi condition. Ultimately,the outcomes of the projects of revolutionary neo-liberalism and transition in Iraq require that we domore than point to US blunders of implementation or the cultural failings of the Iraqis; they shouldforce us to consider the limitations of advancing the market and transition methodology as techniquesfor understanding and acting upon the political world. 2006 artículo científico 2386-9453 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=76701205 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=767 Revista UNISCI application/pdf Universidad Complutense de Madrid Revista UNISCI (España) Num.12 |
