Economic Reconstruction in Iraq: Some Lessons for Planners and Practitioners
An audio podcast of a panel at USIP that assesses efforts to support stability and economic reconstruction efforts in Iraq by helping to revitalize the economy, create opportunities for investment and trigger sustainable economic growth.
The Task Force to Improve Business and Stability Operations (TFBSO) was established by the Defense Department in 2006 to augment coalition efforts to support stability and economic reconstruction efforts in Iraq by helping to revitalize the economy, create opportunities for investment and trigger sustainable economic growth. The panel, led by Paul Brinkley who directs TFBSO, assesses the challenges faced in Iraq and provides recommendations for planners and practitioners. The panel also explores the following questions: How do we balance peacebuilding, state-building and economic recovery? How do we measure success? Are the TFBSO lessons relevant beyond Iraq? How could we promote coordination and burden-sharing among international partners?
