Abstract

ABSTRACT This article focuses on the failure of the post-2003 social contract in Iraq. It relies on extensive primary data collected in all of Iraq's 19 provinces through Focus Groups and Online Surveys. It develops an analytical framework based on five core elements (corruption, services, security, economy, and governance), that can be applied to the assessment of the state of a social contract. The article argues that the steady decline of the social contract has fuelled Iraqis' resentment and discontent with the ruling elites and inspired their calls to move beyond sectarian divides towards addressing the most pressing issues facing Iraq.

伊拉克社会契约的失败：伊拉克视角

摘要本文关注2003年后伊拉克社会契约的失败。它依赖于通过焦点小组和在线调查在伊拉克所有19个省收集的大量初级数据。它基于五个核心要素（腐败、服务、安全、经济和治理）制定了一个分析框架，可用于评估社会契约的状态。文章认为，社会契约的稳步衰落加剧了伊拉克人对统治精英的怨恨和不满，并激发了他们超越宗派分歧，解决伊拉克面临的最紧迫问题的呼声。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding is a cross-disciplinary journal devoted to critical analysis of international intervention, focussing on interactions and practices that shape, influence and transform states and societies. In 21st century political practice, states and other actors increasingly strive to transplant what they see as normatively progressive political orders to other contexts. Accordingly, JISB focuses on the complex interconnections and mutually shaping interactions between donor and recipient communities within military, economic, social, or other interventional contexts, and welcomes perspectives on political life of, and beyond, European state-building processes. The journal brings together academics and practitioners from cross-disciplinary backgrounds, including international relations, political science, political economy, sociology, international law, social anthropology, geography, and regional studies. The editors are particularly interested in specific or comparative in-depth analyses of contemporary or historical interventions and state-building processes that are grounded in careful fieldwork and/or innovative methodologies. Multi or cross-disciplinary contributions and theoretically challenging pieces that broaden the study of intervention and state building to encompass processes of decision-making, or the complex interplay between actors on the ground, are especially encouraged.
