This week, Aaron held a virtual discussion with Ben Robin-D’Cruz and Renad Mansour, the authors of “Making Sense of the Sadrists: Fragmentation and Unstable Politics,” the first chapter for FPRI’s forthcoming edited volume, Iraq in Transition: Competing Actors and Complicated Politics*. The conversation focused on the Sadrist movement, its place in Iraqi politics, how it balances relations with Iran and the United States, and where it may be headed in the near
future.
*The edited volume was made possible by a grant from GPD Charitable Trust.
