Iraq Against The World

April 03, 2023 | 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm | Middle East Program

About the Event

What can post-Cold War Iraqi foreign policy teach us about the current world order? FPRI Senior Fellow Samuel Helfont will join FPRI Director of Research James Ryan to discuss the lessons that can be learned from the history of Iraqi foreign policy, and his new book, Iraq against the World. 

In Iraq against the World, Helfont offers new insights into the evolution of the post-Cold War order and reveals why wars in Iraq became a central feature of global politics for the past thirty years.
