Although relatively prosperous and stable, the mid-Euphrates region of Iraq has not been successful in producing a civil society that promotes and produces democratic growth. The presumed association between civil society and democratization has been studied extensively at the national level in the Middle East. This report, by contrast, proposes a subnational study of civil society development, arguing that the conditions that foster civil society organizations\u2019 (CSOs) development and that mechanisms linking civil society to democratization are not constant throughout Iraq. By relying on novel data collected through fieldwork and interviews conducted with activists and international aid workers, this report argues that subnational and provincial-level political and social dynamics influenced the differential development of civil society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2201,"template":"","tags":[],"themes":[289,5,67,66],"types":[],"languages":[8],"class_list":["post-2199","resource","type-resource","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","themes-civil-society","themes-community","themes-democracy","themes-governance","languages-lang-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nPostwar Development of Civil Society in Iraq's Mid-Euphrates Region -
