Post Conflict Reconstruction - Why is Transition to Civilian Management so Disjointed? (Report on the Joint Professional Meeting with the Institution of Civil Engineers)

摘要

THE conflict in Iraq has been discussed on the pages of this Journal in great detail in recent RE Journals, particularly in the December 2004 edition. However, the conflict in Iraq is far from over and only at the end of June 2004 did Iraqis regain control of their destiny and the reconstruction of the nation. Politically in UK we may not have "invaded" Iraq, nor were we a force of "occupation", although many in this country and Iraq do not agree that line. Indeed it could be argued that this political attitude directly led to the lack of planning for a post war Iraq that most commentators seem agreed upon.
